thanks for the help

K7 TRITON 400 mother board
USB 2.0
333FSB

AMD Athlon XP2000+ processor
80-gigabyte hard drive
512-ddr memory (2300 SPEED)
52x speed cdrom
48x12x48 speeds CDRW
8x compatible graphics
USB 2.0

Ati 9600 should be close to that price range.

The second card you list there is a keeper.

Radeon 9600 Pro/XT are great cards with the FX5700 being almost as good. You can also get a FX5900 for under $200 which is a great deal. Not quite as good as the 9800 Pro IMO, but for the money its well worth it.

Good deal. I got the Sapphire 9800NP with samsung mem. Love it! By the way alot of sapphire's are really BBA's. They make ati's cards for them after all.
