both are directX 9 cards,.....I can't think of any difference at all except for a bit of the specs and the name,......performance? the two should perform almost the same,..

perhaps, you've reached the limits of your cpu?

you won't fully utilize the HD 3850 on that system,....

I did some "research" before posting,and I said, hey might as well let those people who doesn't know how to, and do them some favor, here it is,... http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce_9500_gt_performance/page9.asp http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-9500-gt-review/8...

the 9500GT is faster, based on most reviews it can actually play cod4 at max on a 1680 x 1050 screen at 31fps average:D,.....

can you give us a link for the 9500GS? never heard of a 9500GS video card unless it's for a laptop

I would go for this one:rolleyes: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161208

this is faster for an extra 10 dollars,.http://www.buy.com/prod/evga-geforce-8600gt-512mb-128-bit-gddr2-pci-express-x16-sli-supported/q/loc/101/206728107.html

just some added features,.....overall performance is the same

even my oldie Celeron D starts to run unstable when temps reaches 70c, couldn't imagine how it will run at those temps,...

maybe this could turn the tide,... http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=770&p=0

yup, the Core 2 Duo E5200 is Intel's new 45nm processor offering,....much better, than the E4XXX series which I as what I've read will be discontinued at the last quarter this year.

the 8600GT is much better, but make it sure though that you are getting the DDR3 version,....and if you can find one, a factory-overclocked version will give you a bit of a performance boost than 8600GT's sold at stock clock speeds.

if you can find a Palit Sonic( factory-overclocked version )HD 4850, the better, though it will cost you a few more dollars....

I agree,.....:D

even a factory-overclocked 9600GT can't defeat a stock-clocked 8800GT, so for an additional 20 dollars, I say going for the 8800GT( the one in the middle ) is worth it,...

some points to consider:) http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=770&p=0

don't now about COD4 but Crysis do benefit from a lot of ram in your system, maybe a bit of a hardly noticeable lag,....

unfortunately you can't just play anything with an Intel GMA 900 IGP,.....

an upgrade on features but definitely not on performance:P anyway framerate difference shouldn't be that high,...
