It is majorly outdated

What is your price range and I will try to find you the best card for that price.

ATI updates no longer run on that or the 9550SE 256mb model. You can look over the details on that one at http://www.gecube.com/products-detai...&prod_id=21234

The following links are a little closer to home for ordering a replacement or newer make and model.

I would go for the 6600GT. I saw a big improvement between those two cards.

The Catalyst won't run well after the 6.1 update on the 95xx series cards if you plan on gaming it all. The drivers only option will continue upto the latest. It won't take long before the entire 9xxx line is no longer supported. This is why moving upto an X1600 model card will keep you going longer before moving into PCI-E. You want to go forward not backward when choosing.

ATI states that any video card which is at or below the 9250 doesn't support the new drivers, and you must use Catalyst 6.5 or lower. It doesn't say anything about the 9550.
