any day now. -
I recommend the 9500 non-pro 128MB if you can find any with old board layout.
I have one 9500 softmodded to a 9800 and it's smoking for 190€.

VJ you will mostly find Sapphire and Hercules radeons here in Belgium (at least in my region). Both are good brands. And certainly stay away from Powercolor.Main: Dual Xeon LV2.4Ghz@3.1Ghz | 3X21" | NVidia 6800 | 2Gb DDR | SCSI
Second: Dual PIII 1GHz | 21" Monitor | G200MMS + Quadro 2 Pro | 512MB ECC SDRAM | SCSI
Third: Apple G4 450Mhz | 21" Monitor | Radeon 8500 | 1,5Gb SDRAM | SCSIComment

If you´re planning to do insane overclocks, yes, they use the least overclockable memory around. If you don´t, there´s nothing wrong with it - I have a Powercolor R9700 and I´m very satisfied with it. Yes, memory only goes from default 270Mhz to 290Mhz, but that´s not negligible on a DDR 256-bit bus. Image quality wise, it´s the best card I have since my G400, no instalation problems at all, and it´s bundled with all needed accessories: DVI-to-VGA adaper, S-video cables. Price is very nice too.Stay away from PowercolorComment

Brands does matter, image-quality and OC'ing wise.Comment

Yes, most ATI-based cards I seem to find in my region are Hercules, Sapphire and even Tyan...Originally posted by KeiFront
