Both cards are about on par... go with the cheaper one!

Yes Praetor. I'm partial to the ATI because I have one.

I would go with the ATI because you can get a sapphire board with the 9600 chipset and 256mb for 100 bucks! it's the same thing as the chipset on an ATI board. They run the same. Praetor can back me on this one.

You can do the same with the GFX5700 ('course it will take a bit more intensive searching but doable)

Yes it will. Hence my recommendation.
