What are the ones that you want. Will you game? Will you do 3d stuff?

how much do you wanna spend? etc.. help me help you lol

 

[StangGT3]

I will mainly be playing newer games like Typhoon Rising, and any other new games that are system hogs....I also do some Photoshop work. I wanna spend under 200. I found the GeForce FX 5700 256mb DDR for 169 shipped.

9800pro

256meg=275$
128meg=225$

i think the 256 will serve you well in the future but 128 is sufficient for all games currently out

9800XT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd save up for the 9800 pro 256MB but if you want it now the 128 MB should handle all the games now and in the near future.

9800XT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

no

Pro is like 5-10% less performance for 40% less cost

XT=450
Pro=275

(both 256 megs)
