I'm in the process of getting a new vid card to replace my ageing GF3ti (to accompany a XP2400 CPU). I thought I'd get a 9600Pro but decided to wait for the 9600XT or FX5700. Was this a bad idea?
I'm not really interested in spending more £'s for a much better card - 9800, 5900 etc. as this is only a 'secondary' PC and will be fully replaced next year. Should I just go for a bog standard 9600Pro or hang on a bit longer for one of these two 'slightly sexier’ models?
What is the lead time between reviews and actual availability in the UK? It’s got to early November and still no sign of either.
