Hi
Sorry I keep posting loads of posts, but need one more : )

I want to buy a new graphics card as my Geforce 4 TI 4200 64MB is getting slow in games, I was wondering is the new Radeon 9800 Pro much faster that the Radeon 9700 Pro as I don't want to spend loads of money on a card thats not much faster

Please recommend one, and the best place I could get one from

My specs are

KT3-V ( LAN Version )
1,536MB ( 1.50 GB ) DDR PC2100 CAS 2.5
Athlon XP 2100+ Palimino
Soundblaster live 5.1 Digital
Jeantch 300w PSU

Also what PSU do you recommend as I know that the new Radeon cards are power hungry, and will the new Radeon work flawlessly in my motherboard with 4x

Thanks in advance

Hi Zero Cool. Here is a site that compares the Radeon 9700 Pro to the new Radeon 9800 Pro.
You might want to get a fresh cup of coffee before settling in with this review as it's massive! It's 12 pages long and has 85 different benchmark graphs and side by side screen capture shots. If your into knowing all the numbers then this review certainly gives up the goods. Happy reading.

At last, I finished reading all that ( took nealy an hour ) The Geforce FX 5800 Sucks, the worst Nvidia ever brought out, even the Radeon 9700 Pro beats it and that is an old card now : 0

I think I will be getting the Radeon 9700 Pro as the Radeon 9800 Pro only beats the 9700 Pro by a little bit, not sure about the 256mb version of the card though, that looks to be powerful

Thanks for that link , has helped a lot
