Any oppinions about these cards? (prices in canadian) PowerColor ATI RADEON 9600PRO 256MB $179 PowerColor ATI RADEON 9800 256MB $265 ATI RADEON 9550 256MB $190 ATI RADEON 9600 128MB $270 I'm looking for a good card that'll take good games. I know these aren't the best but I have to pick between these four. I'm planing to go to an AMD Barton 3000 and 512 MB RAM. I would just like hear pros and cons about these video cards and why to "stay away" or why to "go for it". Thanks. And please, no charts, i've been there.

First I would like to suggest a card thats a bit more expensive that you didn't mention. Nvidia 6600GT AGP http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13402&vpn=P450-8529&manufacture=XFX%20Technologies If I had to pick from the cards you mentioned I would go for either the 9800 or the 9600Pro. Reasoning is simple, performance, and in the case of the 9600Pro price.
