Oops, I turned your 9's into 8's. The 9600GT is a nice card from everything that I've read. Tom's Hardware put it's overall performance only 12% under the 8800GT, despite having only half the stream processors. Google it a bit, but I would wave off the 9500 for only 20 bucks. Zipzoomfly has an 512MB EVGA 9600GT for $70 after rebate.
