ATI Radeon 9600 Low Profile 128MB DDR DVI+CRT+TV AGP 8X

What does it mean by Low Profile, does that mean it is not as good? Here is the link to where i found it if you need more info

It’s not a bad price, but not a very good one either. “Low Profile” just means the card is physically narrow, which might be important to some people with very small chassis. However, one thing that description doesn’t tell you is that it’s actually a 9600SE, which is a slower variant of the 9600. You might do better looking here.

Basically, yes. There isn’t much difference at all, and Sapphire makes a pretty darn good OEM card. Additionally, if you’re into overclocking, you can add a fan to the heatsync and easily get a few more clocks out of it .
