Reply: (edit)180?i didnt knew there were any cards with 180Mb memory. anyway i used to own a 9600 PRO not to long ago and with my 3700+ it run fine (as in low settings) now i got myself the X1600 PRO and it runs very good ( as in high settings) the X1300 isnt really a gaming card. if it is not over your budget get an X1600 PRO. really is best bang for the buck. or in my case, best bang for the euro:P ATi Radeon 9600 PRO AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Gigabyte K8NSC-939 1Gb Team Group DDR400 Maxtor 200Gb 450 Watts PSU 4 vents

Reply: (edit)X1300 isn't but the X1300 PRO is a low range gaming card. the 9800 PRO is getting old, i'd avoid both of them and get a nvidia 7600 agp. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ OC 2.7ghz 2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200 Nvidia 7900GT SATA II 2x 200gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0 Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI

Reply: (edit)LOL, too much compared to today's prices for what you can get the 4600+ for, but at the time I got it OEM for a really good price so I wasn't complaining. I spent roughly a 1000 on it, minus the DDR 400 I yanked from my older system. I can prob sell it for 700 on ebay if I sold it as is which i'm planning to do when i build my next system on the AM3 platform.
