9600XT vs 9600Pro

[BigMac]

Hi all

I have a AMD 1800+xp on a K7T266 Pro2 mobo and a GF3 ti 500. I am trying to keep this rig upto gaming specs for one more year (then it's time for a complete system changeover) so i think it's best to spend some bucks (euro's if you will) on a new gfx card. (if that's stupid let me know).

The mobo only supports upto AGP4x.

Is it still worthwhile to replace my GF3 with a 9600XT or should I stick to a 9600Pro? At least I want full DX9 hw support.

I am interested in your opinion, although even if it's best to go for the 9600Pro I'll probably stick to the XT because I get Half-Life 2 with that, which I have to buy otherwise. I am wondering though what they ship at this time as to my knowledge HL2 isn't yet released.

if your getting hl2 with it go ahead and buy the XT, and keep it like that. pro is an awesome card for the price and xt is also an excellent card, although you wont get a Considerable difference in perforamnce, the xt is clocked higher and if you have the money for it i would go ahead and buy it.
