Okay,
DO NOT BUY THAT 9600XT!! Go to pricewatch.com and go to the videocard section and find the geforce fx5900. You can get one for 195 bucks and it its SO much better than the 9600xt. Just look at benchmarks. Oh, and if you go for the 5900, make sure you get one with the 256bit memory interface. I bought the XFX version, and it is absolutely amazing for the price.
Just promise me you dont buy the 9600XT, i will even give you a link.
Well I dont know where the XFX's went, but here is a 256bit 128mb Albatron 5900 for $209:

trust me, this is a much much better deal. Also, you can look at other stores too, just make sure the memory interface is 256bit.
