I was thinking of 2 of these beasts (www.intel.com) just released yesterday. I expect they'll set you back about $2000 a piece. :O > Hi there Metla, what's the difference in the 9600Pro and the Encore 9600 Pro? could you explain please. Encore edition is a cheaper version of it aimed at the cheap market. Often Gecube are pretty dodgy and use poor quality or slower RAM on the cards to make it cheaper or they underclock them a bit. With other manufacturers like Gigabyte they tend to stick to the specs given by Ati and don't use cheap components on the boards. |

Which goes back to you get what you pay for, the 9600 pro/XT cards are available over quite a large price range. Gecube aren't necessarily bad as long as the vendor is upfront about the specific model. Did you see the outcry over sapphire releasing a 128-bit card and labeling it as a 9800pro?....Customer outrage forced them to rebrand it and offer a replacement to people who had already purchased the card. |

Mmm yes I did. Thats a shocker really, those 128bit cards must perform like a dog. I can't understand why they'd even bother to do that, is 128bit memory $100+ cheaper or something? |
