I heard some good stuff about the 9550GE.

mmh intresting, only 78 Euro @tones (ASUS Radeon 9550GE/TD 128MB)

Is there much difference with 9600 Pro?

9550 is WORSE then 9500 .. 9600 is better then 9500...

9600 pro is still the better option, I know.

Ordered the 9600 Pro this morning, going to pick it up this evening.

Oh man, there was an article on the Inquirerer today on how ATi is going to be pricing new 9600 Pros at $90us to undercut nVidia on the lower-end.

Still, you're getting a great card. It's actually a good gaming card he'll be able to play some games at 1024x768/1280x960 and still use 4xAA 4xAF and get great image quality. (I have an AIW 9600 pro in me wife's computer with a 1.4 tuly @ 1.68 and it's a great match-up!)

Yup, that's the one....mine was late. I was waiting to hear something back from Patti all official like hoping to give the story some more zing, but I think I sent it too late for her to get it. :(

I like EB a lot :super:

Thanks and glad to hear. I like MadShrimps a lot. I've been reading it for years, I find it kind of hard to believe I've never joined up at the forums before. :oops:

Good review on that COOL unit, it got a lot of good talk all over the web yesterday and got a whole lot of people interested in getting one. (Not me though, I got this aversion to water cooling....I used to be an electrician and I just have a hard time getting over the whole "water and electricity are a BAD mix" thing. :? )

Sorry for the babble, pre-coffee. :oops:
