ASUS Radeon 9550 GE [Opinions?]

[Dark Ride]

I'm getting the ASUS Radeon 9550 GE 128MB these days.It's a 128-bit card with a core frequency of 250 MHz and RAMDAC frequency of 400 MHz.

I had a GeForce 2 NX 400 64 MB for 3 years and I think it's time now to upgrade.What doy ou think about the 9550 GE ? Does anyone have it here ? Tell me your expirience with the card.

My rig:

Intel Pentium 4 (1.8 GHz)
256 MB Samsung RDRAM PC800 -> soon to be 512 MB
GeForce2 MX 400 64 MB
Genius SoundMaker Value 5.1
Samsung HDD 40 GB 7200 rpm
LG CD-R/RW 52x32x52x
Samsung DVD-ROM 16x

Thanks in advance.

the 9550 is a 9600 core clocked down. Decent OCs on the core are possible. 400ish isn't out of the question. OCd i will still be slower than a 9600 pro due to memory, but will be close, and will be miles above a gf2 mx 400.

Why not get an ATI in the 9600s series?
