[QUOTE="Oculus, post: 73686, member: 22236"] Yep. As far as ATI SE goes, these are the "quantity over quality" cards. I own a 9600 SE card as well. This particular card features 256MB RAM which was very rare at that time and unheard of in the 9600SE' pricerange. Those 256MB are considerably slower than the 128MB featured on the normal 9500/9600 versions thou, which resulted in slower performance back then. Those 256MB do come in handy with the high texture load in todays games but of course the 9600SE doesn't sport all those new nifty features like SM 3.0, HDR et cetera and is way too slow these days gaming anyway. Makes a good HTPC card thou with passive cooling ;) [/QUOTE]
