I'm going to be buying a video card in a week, but I'm not sure which
one will give me the best punch for my money. I've decided on the ATI
Rdeon 9600. The SE version comes with 256 DDR, the 9600 XT comes with
128, but the bus speed, clock, etc is much faster. It's about a $70
difference. I'm willing to spend the extra money, but only if it's
going to be a noticeable difference (otherwise, I'm going to buy the
SE and another 512 of ram, bringing the total to 1 gig). Is there a
big enough difference between the XT and SE to justify spending
another $70? Thanks!

Blessed Be,
Zeligg
