      well ive seen benchmarks where the 9600 scores higher, and i have a fx5600 at the moment cause the cheaper 9600 was out of stock when i ordered it, but im thinking of exchanging it for the 9600 just for the extra money, but i dont wanna end up with the extra money and a jew card.

        Go with the radeon 9600. Cheaper and it can overclock to extreme point. I think its a much better card. Don't attack me now amd man : peace:

                  Looks like you had your mind made up way before you started this thread.
