Upgrade question? 9800 pro

[gene74]

Currently i have a 9700 pro in a XP 2400 machine with 1 (pc2700) gb ram. Question is, will i see an improvement if i put in a 9800 ori 256 mb. A friend of mine is selling it to me for like $200.00. What do you think?

Stay with your 9700 pro until the next generation cards come out.

Your 9700 Pro is not even close to be saturate with the current processor you have. This card needs 3200+ and up to shows signs of fatigue. You'll benefit more of a CPU upgrade than a video card upgrade IMHO. I am in the "wait for the next gen" camp too.

If you get it for 200$ you may be able to sell it for more.
