Good cards?

Anybody have experience with this card?

Is it pretty good for gaming? I am looking for the cheapest good card right now. Is it good? Does it work well?

It's not good for gaming. ANY ati card with 'se' on the end of it is not good for gaming (as i just recently learned). Basically they cut the bandwidth in half and lower the internal bit rate. It's a cheap marketing trick by ATI IMO desidned to sucker people into a buy (for increased sales? i dunno why). i would also recomend a non-se 9600 series. YOu can get a 9600 pro for around $130 or so.

I would advise a 9600 Pro or XT. Of course, if you're buying an XT, you might as well save a little more to buy the 9800 Pro.
