Oh my god..... one of my friends went out and purchased a video card without consulting me and the card he got was a 9600se. I asked him if he knew that "se" in Ati's cards (like the 9800se, 9600se) stands for shitty edition. The 9600SE has a 64bit memory interface which is HALF of the XT's, which is 128 bit. Plus the core and the memory of the SE is clocked much lower than the XT. On
www.newegg.com they are selling 9600 XT's for $150, if I were you I would spend the extra $20/$30 and get a much better card.
