Throw away your 9500GT and you'll have better results with the 8800 GTS.

The 9500GT is the 8600GT with a new name/number. Stick with the 8800GTS. The extra (slower) memory isn't going to help.

If you have another slot to put in.. then it'll be o.k....
(U could use 9500GT for PhysX processor while 8800GT does other job)
