I need some suggestions. I got $130 max to spend on a video card. I was thinking about buying this one:

Looks nice. I could sure use the DVI output for my flat panel.

Well, 256MB DDR, DX9 is enticing for me. ;)

Yea, might be around $150, but the best value right now is the 9600 Pro. That card would be much better than any nvidia you would get for around that price.

Amen brother. Now that they took the umm.."coupon" for HL2 out of the XT series..you can even find a 9600XT for like $160..and worth every penny. :)
