9600 differences?

[zalazin]

I am thinking of getting 9600 based agp card for my shuttle SFF SK41G. Currently I am running a BFG 5200 w128 ram. Will I see any difference. Also need a TV out which is on Radeon cards.
Will the 9600 series run all the 9700 demos? What is the difference between the 9600 and 9600 SE? I need to keep the price under $100.00. Thanks!

The 9600SE is a plain 9600 that's been crippled with a memory bus width that's only 64 bits wide. (The plain 9600 has a 128-bit memory bus width.)

Moreover, neither of those two particular 9600s are a big enough improvement over your current FX5200 to warrant spending $100 on. And neither of those 9600s will play any of the 9700 demos all that much better than your current FX5200 can. (Granted, almost anything's better than your crappy FX5200. But to play any of those 9700 demos significantly better than that FX5200 will require spending more than $150 - preferably more than $200.)

Get a 9600 non pro.
