If luck strikes, I'll soon have enough money to buy myself a new graphics card to replace my old 7600GS. I'm thinking of a 9600GT or 8800GT.
Here's the pros and cons that I've came up with:
9600GT:
+
Cheaper
Hardware overclocking
Completes the *600 series cards I own (4600, 5600, 6600, 7600, fuck 8600, 9600)
-
Slower
8800GT:
+
Faster
Widely used, performance proved.
Leet with two eights.
-
More expensive
I don't really have any income except from computers I sell, so price is a huge issue.
I propably won't get the money anyhow, so this'll propably end up as nothing but speculation, as most of my purchasing threads

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
