I have the choice of getting either a Radeon 9800SE or a Radeon 9600PRO graphics card, the guy at the shop im buying from says the 9600PRO is better but I dont know cause that only has 128MB ram when the 9800SE one I would get has 256MB. Hes charging me the same price for which ever one I go for so It doesnt really matter about the money side. I want the best performance for games such as doom3 and call of duty.

Please help, thanks

Well, my vote is still hands down with the 9600Pro. Use the chart devils6889 provided in response 3 and go the the fbucks section at the end of the article. Seems the fps per dollar invested easily goes to the 9600Pro in all categories.
