Meh nvm I can't find the review I saw... anyways I believe it is faster.
LOL okay, here is the 9550:
Chipset/Core Speed: ATI Radeon 9550/250MHz
Memory/Effective Speed: 256MB DDR/400MHz
And here is the 9600pro:
Chipset/Core Speed: ATI Radeon 9600PRO/400MHz
Memory/Effective Speed: 256MB DDR/600MHz
See the speed difference? The 9600pro will be alot better plus I believe it can be overclocked a fair bit as well.
