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-detail.php?prod_cat=34&prod_id=21234

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

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.
 
well first...you live in Philippines...so i dont know what you can buy with $60~70....as hardware price is different from country to country...

however, i wouldnt suggest you to get 9550GT....because it is really out of date.....

like other people said...6600gt agp would be a good choice...but if it is over your budget too much (it is always about money ~.~)....consider 6600...it still better than 9550gt, especially if you planning to use it for a while....i wouldnt recommend 9550gt personally.

p.s. although you said you do not play high end games like doom3...but you never know :)....when the time comes...6600 still can make these games playable i believe

I ran the 9550SE on the last build. That was the 256mb model and went through the newer Cat.s to find out which ones would or wouldn't work. I went back after the 5.11 Control Panel after running the Cat 6.5. The 9550s have the 9600 model chip in them. At this point you would want to go with the AGP version of the Radeon X1300 and X1600 Pro or newer for gaming. The X850 was a great one for gaming.

The Catalyst especially the ones following the 5.4 or 5.5 version were noted for causing problems while gaming. Upon getting into the Catalyst 6X line of updates that became even more evident on the 9550 model used in the old case here. I was fortunately able to grab the last 5.11 control panel for running HL2, SoF II, and some others without problems.
