From my experience, at 20 bucks, one video card doesn't rip up the one that was 20 bucks cheaper.
In fact, with todays 1+GHz machines, unless you run at beyond 1024x768, you may be overbuying a video card. Be sure to reach some "balance" in the components. That is, if you have 128 Meg of RAM on the system, no video card may make up for that. Or the same for the K6-2 machines. While a nice 3D card will help, it won't pull it up to today's monsters.

I was looking for a graphics card to upgrade my system (my quest still goes on, I haven't bought one yet...but soon)
and found this Radeon 9550XT by Infotek, the info on newegg said it wasn't a 9550XT (the box in the pics was a 9550XT and Infotek's other 9550 was about $20 cheaper so I figure it was) and someone in a review had said it was 400MHZ core and 500MHZ RAM, which would put it almost identical to the 9600Pro, but about $20 cheaper, so has anyone found any benchmarks for the 9550XT? ATI's website's search thing couldn't find it, but it did give 12000 possibilitys, of which I looked at about 10.
So if anyone has any Benchmark infor the 9550XT that would be great (I cannot find it on tomshardware, and they haven't put out VGA Charts 4, sadly)
any info please....thanks
