| I went from an 8500 128Mb to a 9600 Pro, without overclocking the 9600
| Pro it was a big difference in speed and visual quality. When I
| overclocked the 9600 the difference was astounding. YOu just can't go
| wrong with the 9600 Pro for the price. If you run very demanding
| games or video programs at very high resolutions (say 1280x1024 or
| higher) then you might want to fish up a 9500/9700/9800 as they have
| more pixel pipes and the 9800 has 256-bit ram. For me, I now run
| Battlefield 1942 (which really choked my 8500 at 1024x768 with
| moderate eye-candy) at 1280x1024 with most of the eye-candy on and
| it's smoother.
