I ordered this card from newegg
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-131-219R&type=Refurbished
The new version of the card is here

Is there potential in this card? and is that price rite for a 9600pro? i'm kindda confuse because i haven't bought a graphic card in years, i'm using a geforce 2 rite now thanks.

the price does look about right, but you could if you wanted get a 9550 and Overclock it to 9600 speeds because they're basically the same thing.

looks pretty good for a 9600PRO has decent RAM on it by the looks of it

 

[INSTG8R]

ah but Dedo that has BGA RAM on it much more potential then TSOP

 

[Dedodido]

aha, I see. I knew they used cheaper RAM on the 9550 but I didn't know it was in a different format.

i'm thinking that i can push it up to the XT level , i don't know depends on my luck i guess

 

[INSTG8R]

looks promising just check the numbers on the RAM chips and look them up on the site here 3.3ns or better and your lookin good for XT speeds

Even if you can't hit XT speeds, you'll get damn close.

i just got the card today and according the the chip it's
Samsung K4D263238E-GC2A 128 MBit 2.8 ns uBGA 144
is that good? i dont' wanna put it in yet because that means i have to test it and stuff lol and i got midterm tomorrow, so i'll pop it in on wednesday, it looks good, i order a refurb but newegg sent me a brand new one with manual and cables and box, everything, i guess they ran out of refurbs stock lol
