I want to buy a new graphics card the one I already have is a Gigabyte RADEON 9200SE Series

One of the graphics cards in the store is a Radeon X600 256MB HyperMemory.

Which is better?

Any help would be appreciated.

The X600 is a little better, but it won't make that much of a difference. If you want to upgrade, shop online. Never ever buy in retail stores, they will rip you off. How much are you willing to spend and whats the interface of your graphics card (AGP or PCI-Express?)

I found this 2 sites best for online hard ware shopping:
www.newegg.com
www.zipzoomfly.com

Which graphics card would you recommend Incinerate_IV

How much are you willing to spend? Since you have a 9200 I'm guessing you got AGP. So.

X1600Pro:

X800GTO:

7800GS:

Those are in order from worst performance to best performance, I think those 3 graphics cards were the best deal in their price range.

Personally, for the best bang for the buck, X1600Pro would be it. With some tweaking, it can play almost all the newest games out now on medium-high settings.
