yes the 9500 Pro does have 8 pixel pipelines...some people like the 9600 pro for it's affordability/overclockability being a bit better than the 9500 Pro. Some like the 9500 Pro because you can up it with OCing to around about a 9700 non pro (lil harder to do so than the 9600 though)

Go to <A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com" target="_new">pricewatch</A> and check to see the price comparisons between the two. 9500 Pro should be close to 180 US dollars. 9600 Pro should be around 140 US dollars. Dunno though, you might be able to find them for cheaper. I haven't checked in a couple of days.

Yeah, you can find one in the US w/ a little bit of searching....dunno if that is where you are located though. Happy purchasing.

Actually, an OC'd 9500 pro will beat an OC'd 9600 pro by a wide margin when using AA and Ansio.

Depends on the game, too.
Some games prefer more pipelines... others prefer higher GPU clockspeeds.

But I'd bet 80% of the time an OC'd 9500 PRO would beat an OC'd 9600 PRO.
