| 342443 | 2005-04-07 06:20:00 | X600 is based on the Radeon 9600, which in turn is based on the Radeon 9500, and that was a cut down version of the very first DirectX 9 chip of all, the Radeon 9700. That means that the underlying technology dates back to late 2002 which is a lifetime in the world of graphics chips, and although ATi has carried out extensive development of the silicon to make it more efficient, it is definitely showing its age. On the othet hand theres not much difference between the two.See here: graphics.tomshardware.com |

| 342444 | 2005-04-07 06:54:00 | I would definitely go for a Geforce 6600 gt agp instead (or PCIe if you get a PCIe mobo). They are 5 times as good and not much more expensive. Only about $350. Check out: graphics.tomshardware.com graphics.tomshardware.com |
