I believe since the nvidia card is an FX you're better off looking through your garbage for a graphics card. better price too. the 9600 pro is a good card, I'm currently running a 9600xt myself, but if you can find the 128MB model I think that is the better option

The R9600Pro is a MUCH better card whether it's 128mb or 256mb.

The 256mb version usually has slower rated memory which matters more for overclocking.

Get Radeon 9600 Pro. 128 MB versions will perform equally well and should cost less

What brand 9600Pro can you get for $140CAN? 9600Pro's cost about $140USD, the better brands anyway..
