I need to replace my graphics card and want to spend less than $150. I have found the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128 MB for about $130. Does anyone have the card?? Like it/dont like it?? I have only found a couple articles/reviews on the card and they sound positive. Please give opinions on the card or suggestions for another card for about the same $$. Thanks

go with the Radeon 8500LE 128mb instead, the 9000 is just a weaker version of the 8500 anyways :r

9000 is more capable than 8500 in some areas, but weaker in others. Now 9000 _pro_ (i.e. faster version than 9000) against 8500 _LE_ (slower version than 8500) roughly is a tie.

Opting for the more recent product generation, I got my brother an H.I.S. 9000pro VIVO, which works very nice, and well fast enough to play games fluently. 139 euros, that should fit the $130 bill.
