The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

As far as I know, the 8800 GT outperforms the 9600 GT, and can usually be found for less than the 9600.02fxnmaurer wrote:

9600GT 512, $149.
*Ahem* The 9600GT is not more expensive than the 8800GT. It is marginally slower, thouh.

wait if you can....Save $100 more and get your a 8800 GTX
Those are the 256MB ones, they're useless at higher resolutions. The cheapest "real" 8800GT is at $209.chittydog wrote:

Most of the rest of them have mail-in rebates that bring the price to $199
Yep, read a review about it and even the 3850 rapes it sometimes.02fxnmaurer wrote:

And I think a decent brand GT is better than a crap GTS.
