Which ATI card???

[Unreal]

Hey,

Im planning out on what I am buying for my new computer, which Im going to build next year.

All my previous computers have used nVidia and they have been pretty good, but I want to try ATI this time.

I have been looking at the ATI website at the 9600, 9700 and 9800 ranges and have no idea which one to buy as I have read that they are all good.

I need a 4x AGP card with 128Mb of memory thats £110 or less.

System will be:
Creative® SLiX™ & Audigy™ 2 Package
P4 HT 3.06GHz 533FSB
2x 512Mb DDR200/266/333
120Gb HD @ 7200RPM 8Mb

So which ATI card would be the best?

likely the only card to come near your budget will be the 9600pro...

in the US it retails for around $140 in some places... not sure if the prices will correlate in england though...

u might as well decide what video card u want 'then', not now..
cause if u buy an ati radeon 9600 then, there might be something else out that's a lot better...

at least that's the way i look at it
i guess u can look at the fact that by then, the price of a 9600 would be a lot lower

NVidia and Ati are slugging each other to death. Be patient and the price of current models should fall dramatically in the near future.
