Hmm. This is an interesting case. The 9600 XT is a good card, but it pales in comparison to the Sapphire 9800 Pro. Dunno, man, I ain't the expert when it comes to value comparisons. I'd honestly wait for someone like Lasereth, Redjake, or Mr. Deflok to really determine what would be best. I mean, a Sapphire 9800 Pro is like, 200 bucks on newegg, and it'll most definitely run the shit out of HL2, but then, a 9600 XT will run HL2 good as well. You just might not be able to max all the shit out, detail-wise, and you may have to settle for 1024*768 or 1152*864. Also, you have to consider whether or not you'll be restricted by CPU or RAM. Any of those can cause a bottleneck, but the CPU bottleneck would be most severe.
