    I'm running a 9600XT and I'm happy with it. Cost me $125, you should be able to get one on www.newegg.com for cheaper though. What games do you wanna play"

    actually, you should probably get a 9700pro. My 9600XT Ultra plays HL2, Need For Speed Underground2 very well but a 9700pro is not very much more and it has more bang

    Depends on where you look. I'd seen 'em on Newegg a few weeks ago, and they were running for over $200. The 9800 line was the replacement for the 9700's, so keep that in mind. I don't know what you'll find if you'd look on eBay, but you're looking at a difference of $70-120 difference between the 9600XT and 9700Pro.
