ATI RADEON 9600SE? $165cdn.

p4user · 04-January-04, 02:17 PM

I'm thinking of making a 2.4 Ghz C system. What I was wondering if the ATI RADEON 9600SE 128MB DDR AGP VGA DVI-I TV any good for $165cdn? I would use it for mostly multitasking, MSN, surfing the net, and downloading, etc. So I don't need the greatest graphics. I'm also a little short on cash.

Or is it a big difference to go and get ATI RADEON 9600XT 128MB DDR AGP VGA DVI-I TV OUT for $280cdn?

Stay away from the SE edition..It is way underclocked and has cheap ram on it.. The ti4200 outperforms this card..Iff you are getting a new budget card I would say go with a reg 9600 pro starting around 156 us or even a 9700 pro can be had for around 200.00 now days..

DO NOT get the 9600 se, it blows, big time. Ive seen some non pro 9600s for around 100, and some pros for around 140. Why am i explaining this? Bio did a great job, listen to him.
