Thanks RemanWarbird,


buying the Geforce Fx 5200 was a very big mistake...lol well some of us have to learn the hard way, myself included...

but I'm leaning towards the Radeon 9600Pro, if I can find it the same price as the site listed before ($119)
thank's all for the sage-like advice... todays tech has pretty much left me behind. ah for the good old days when the 686 was king...lol

I have just read in another forum a radeon 9550 can be flashed to work at a 9600 speed...

it's sounds strange, would anyone know how to flash a card like that?

$340!!!! jesus christ you pay alot. $340 is the price for a 9800 pro down in Victoria (mmm hooray for having more pc enthusiast asian minorities down here :P)

p.s. You will save money in the long run buying a more expensive card like a 9800 Pro, you won't need to upgrade as soon and you'll get way more bang for buck.

And for games, get half-life 2, call of duty, BF1942 (Forgotten hope mod is nice), hitman 2 and contracts.

Thanks Eagle One,
checked out that site, it's mostly for Brit's and Amercian's, the postage to Australia alone would probably make them the same price.

Thanks Rahman,
I already going to be doing that, but thanks anyway...

Hope you can find a good card

Now for some games you wanted:
Half Life2
An act of war:direct action(the C&C killer)
Call of Duty
Far cry.
Halo PC

For halo and far cry you would need a 9800 pro or better to run it with all the goodies

On that thread they said a gecube 9550 is a good card...
