So I am looking at newegg for 9600 GSO's and am finding 4 options.
XFX PVT96OZDFU GeForce 9600 GSO 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Core clock: 580MHz
Memory Clock: 800MHz

XFX PVT96OS1S4 GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB 192-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Core clock: 580MHz
Memory Clock: 1000MHz

EVGA 512-P3-N963-TR GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Core clock: 650MHz
Stream Processors: 48
Memory Clock: 1800MHz

GIGABYTE GV-N96GMC-512H GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Core clock: 650MHz
Stream Processors: 48
Memory Clock: 1800MHz

For this, which would be the fastest? Am I to look at the core clock or the memory clock? and would a 512MB 256-bit be faster, a 1 GB 128-bit, or 768MB 192-bt be faster?
 
EVGA is the best way to go. They have the higher core clock for the same stream processors. And GDDR2 is out of the question here. EVGA also have about the best customer support you can get too.
 
Yea I don't know. I rechecked the specs and I was right. My motherboard and its built in graphics card is still over the minimum requirements. I shouldn't be getting any of the issues I am. I deffinitely shouldn't be getting a 1-2 second lag between moving my mouse and seeing a response on the screen. My buddy has a Radion 9600 all in wonder. 512MB of DDR400. MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R. And a single core AMD 64 Athalon 2.0. Granted he has lowest settings available but he is able to play at 35+fps and has no lag between his mouse movement. I am wondering if there is something wrong with my motherboard?
 
I used to have 128 MB Intergrated card and it worked fine for a couple games :) on lowest settings of course but it was fun :)
 
Either of the 256-bit cards would be fine. I would also recommend
the EVGA card for support reasons.

It's a "TR" card so it comes with a 2 year warranty.
 
My current integrated GPU (ATI 3100 256MB) is surprisingly good... it runs HL2 on medium/high settings quite nicely. I'm upgrading to a 9600GT because there's a lot of games I just can't play with the integrated graphics, but integrated certainly isn't a joke.

EDIT: Oh yeah, EVGA support is awesome! I got my 9600GT DOA, called support and the guy was very helpful (and easy to understand) so assuming that my new card works well I will definitely go back to EVGA for parts. :)
