Ok fellow members of K-Ville…I’m buying computer parts again.

I’ve had a 8600 Nvidia card for awhile and I’m fed up with performance from it … it does ok, but I’d like it to be better … so I’m in the market for another video card again.

With that said, my budget is around $150.00 or less … I’d really like to find a card around the $100.00 range … but I’m willing to go a little further if need be.

I’ve been looking at the new Nvidia 9600 series … but don’t know if it’s really all that better from the 8800’s out there … but I’m a little confused as to what’s the best bang for my buck?!

Could really use some help here. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
