do you want to game on it? If you want to game, the 9600 is much faster. If you dont game though, then it makes absolutely no difference.

I think that is a matter of preference but if I were going to be gaming.....I'd go with the NVidea

you should be able to....one of these other gamers on here may have a better idea than I.....but I'm fairly sure those games will work with that card.

Yeah the 9600 will handle most games on medium settings at least.

don't be surprised if GTA4 gives you trouble though, its still rather buggy and brings some top end systems to its knees at parts of the game, due to bugs in it.

if your wanting to play GTA4 with out much sacrifice, best bet is to stick to consoles to play it (XBox 360 or PS3)

I find GTA 4 is more cpu hungry than anything even with my 260 I can turn the setting up or down makes no difference to frames till i start turning off cpu hungry one's. Adding a second 260 made no difference.
