I am in the market for a video card for a new computer that I am building with Custom Modded case, AMD 1800XP, Crucial 3200, SLK-947U ( I am obviously OCing) and an Abit/Asus board...waiting on Newegg to get a referb in.....
But I can't decide on a video card. I will do play games but mostly games that are more (Morrowwind/Generals/Boulders Gate/Dungeon Siege) type of games. I want to get a card that will play new games of this type in the future. I do play FPS games but they bore me after 1-2 hour even online....
Both cards I am looking at are 128MB and I will be OCing it as well. The Ti4200 has been out for a long... long time but I hear it is still good. But is it too old to be worth getting? The 9600pro is a newer card but is it worth the +$77 (btw I will only buy built by ATi for ATI chips.... bad exp with other companies and their crazy naming bs). You can do so much with $77....
I plan to keep this card for 2 years. Hopefully by then I'll be out in the rat race with a good career building job assuming the economy rebuilds itself a good deal more.
Thanks for your help
