I've found two cards that interest me now

The first is the
(ASUS Radeon) 4670

(here : 4670 - Koop voor de beste prijs 4670 <-- Sorry for the Dutch site, but you should get the point?, also I'm wondering why the 1 gig version is almost €1 cheaper than the 512mb?)

& the

9600 GT

(also, 9600 - Koop voor de beste prijs 9600 ) Again, different choices :/

The first one on the 9600 list is basically the same one I linked to at Newegg. Also, the 9600GT seems to score better in the 3DMark charts than the 4670 does.

Yeah, I know, but newegg doesn't ship to Belgium so I'm looking for alternatives I think I'll go with the 9600, now I just have to decide which one.. Are there usually huge differences between the cards, or are most the same and is just the name and the aesthetics different?

There are small differenences in some. Some have 1GB of Vram, some have 512MB. The 1GB versions tend to be slightly faster, though they do obviously cost more. Between different manufactuers of the card, some change the clock speed a little, but usually not very much. In your case, go with whatever looks like it will fit.

Okay, cool. I'm sure the first 9600 won't fit then, because it already takes in two 'spots'.
I'm not sure about the others, it's not really clear on the pics and no side pics are avaible :/

I've noticed the second has GDDR3 memory, the first 'only' has GDDR2. The first costs €73, the second €79. I think I'll go with the second, I just hope the fan doesn't stick out too much
