I've got an upgrade itch, and I'm thinking about swapping my beloved G400Max DH for a 9000 Pro. $92 gets me 128 mb. The reviews say the 2D is a snob's hair below the G550. My monitors are a bit old, Viewsonic G790 does 85 hz at my res, but my Optiquest 21" will only do 75 hz at 1280.
Does anyone have any info other than what the reviewers said? I've only dealt with ATI's tech support once, and they were pretty useless that time. Other than that, the only thing I remember about ATI is how long it took them to produce Windows 2000 drivers back when it came out [12, 18 months was it?]
So basically I'm looking for someone to tell me its a steal, or I'm better off keeping my G400 and waiting to see what the next few months bring.
There's no way I can afford a $400 Parhelia or 9700, because otherwise we would be having a different discussion entirely.
