Buying a new graphic card for FS2004

**Airam** · 07-08-2003, 04:24 PM

Hi all, now that FS2004 is comming soon I want to buy a new graphic card in order to try to maximize some sliders :). My price's range is from 150-200 �.
My first preference is the ATI RADEON 9600. �What do you think?

My system specs:
------------------
CPU: AMD XP 2700+
Motherboard: GA-7VA
Memory: 512 DDR 333
HD: Seagate 133 UDMA 40 Gb.
Monitor LG 17"

Current graphic card: Radeon 8500LE

Thanks in advance.

My first preference in that price range would be the 9500 Pro. It's faster than the 9600. More bandwidth and pipelines. Also, priced less than $200. Check out www.newegg.com .
