Help
I'm looking into buying a new gfx card in the next couple of weeks. At the moment I have an old GF 2 GTS 32mb. my PC is running a Athlon Tb 1.2 ghz and 512 mb of pc133 ram. I was wondering which card to go for the gf4 or the new 9500 pro? Which card would be more suited to my relitivley old set up? What sort of speed improvement can I hope to see with one of the above cards? And which in your opinions is better?
Your thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks peps

GF4 Ti4200, even though I am a Radeon user, I think the 4200 would complement your system better, but that is just my opinion, the 9500 is probably faster, I just don't know how it will scale on a 1.2 GHz PC.

The 9500Pro (not the Plain 9500) performs and sometimes beats the GeForce 4 Ti4600 and it's half the price if not cheaper. The 9500 (non-pro) is only as fast as the Ti4200, if that.
On one hand, the Ti4200 would compliment your system better. On the other the 9500Pro would have more growth when you eventually upgrade that system.
Personally, I'd pay for the 9500Pro instead, but it's up to you.
