A google search of the two cards could have answered that. The 9700PRO is slightly slower than the 9800PRO, so the answer is a no brainer (9700>9600 8x1>4x1).
I also suggest you keep the 9700pro. You could sell the AIW9600 for quite a bit of money and spend some on a tv tuner card. You'd still have some left over to upgrade your system even further
The 9700 is about 2x faster per mhz, so a 9700 at 250/500 would take a 9600 at 500/1000 to match. I think in reality its less than 2x per clock, but its still a lot faster.
9700 = 256bit mem / 8 pipe core
9600 = 128bit mem / 4 pipe core
