9500 PRO instead of Ti4200: +120 eur

what will this system give me in performance?
whats better ?
512mb or ATI 9500 pro ?

Depends whether it is supposed to be a gaming rig or an all-round system...

I'd go for 2*256MB, but the 9500PRO will have a much greater impact on games.

k thx!
think i will have a new rig within the next 2 or 3 weeks

Yeah, yeah, i know ... normally when i read ECS, i think :puke:

But take tour time to read it.

Prolly is a 150 EUR board, put in a 250 EUR proc, a performant quality cooler and some good ram ... and you STILL have some money left !

all i want is

apps starting up like a lightning beam
and the ability to play some games

not to have the most fps of the world ;)
