Well I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card... Just want to ask a few questions on what to get... Here are the chipsets I can afford...
Radeon X300SE 128MB PCIExpress
Radion 9600SE AGP 8x
GeForce FX5700LE 128MB AGP 8x
GeForce FX5500 128MB AGP 8x
I've always been an ATI person, but there are so many things to compare that I dont know whats better....
ATI has a very good comparison page
http//apps.ati.com/ATIcompare/
Nvidia doesnt offer this
But can someone thats fairly familiar with graphics cards help me out... I want to get the best out of those 4... If you know of anything thats better or close to being just as good for a cheaper price... Let me know...
I have a ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 256mb (not sure how this compares with the SE) and I love it, cept for some little itty bitty problems it has with America's Army... ><

All of those graphics cards are terrible.
Wait until you have more money, then go for an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256bit 128 megabyte card from Newegg.com (~$150).

Well the SE has a 64bit Memory Interface... 1.3 Pixel Fillrate, a 325MHZ Engine clock, and a 400MHZ Memory Clock..
The PRO has a 128bit Memory Interface... 1.6 Pixel Fillrate, a 400MHZ engine clock, and a 600MHZ Memory Clock...
Edit They may be terrible, but the current card I have is a Radeon 7000...
32 Meg AGP... I wont have 150 dollars ANYTIME soon... Those cards are all about half that...
