Which kind of video card should i get?

I don't have a whole lot of money to buy a new card, and using a radeon 9000 pro currently. Right now, I'm leaning towards the 9600XT. Any suggestions?

I would suggest eitehr the 9600XT or if you can afford it, get a Radeon 9800 non-pro. The extra 4 pipes are a nice thing to have. and you can do some nice overclocking with it, whereas the XT is already overclocked, and basically maxed out.

if u already have the 9600 pro, i wouldnt get the 9600 XT..
its almost the same, just clock speed is 100mhz higher, which doesnt improve performance a whole lot...
depends on how much money u got... if u cant afford the 9800 non-pro like JohnnyNapalm said, dont bother getting anything new and save up the money.
