Just bought a NEC 22" monitor for $199.00 off lease from Tiger Direct and
also a ATI 9600XT Video card for $189.00. Was going to get a FX5700 Ultra
but it just seems that the ATI cards have more bang for the buck. Did I get
decent deal and will that vid card hold up when DOOM III comes out, dont
need the latest and greatest, just want something that will get me by until
I can get a new MO-BO, processor, memory combo.

Current sys is....
P4 1.7
Asus p4b
512mem pc 133
gforce fx5200

your cpu and mem is holding you back .
for a ati 9600 tx you realy want a cpu around 2.4 gig to 3 gig and you want
around 1 gig of ram for todays games like far cry.
and why ask in a nvida area whin you want advice on ati card?
