Heres a funny story on my Radeon 9600 Pro:

We contacted HP to make sure we got the best video card that our mother board would support.
They told us to get the Radeon 9600 Pro.
When we went to install it, we found out my mother board couldnt support it because we needed an AGP socket (which we didnt have. HP Screwed us again!)
We returned the Radeon 9600 Pro, and got a NVidia GeForce FX 5200 128 MB.
It needed a PCI port, which we had on my motherboard.
Yet, the installation instructions were horrible. Most of the time, we guessed what to do.
After an hour of tinkering, we finally get the thing to work.
Now I am basking in the power of my new video card, which increased my computers graphic processing speed by 30x its original speed!

Umm, Megaton, read the Radeon 9600 story above. I might not have it anymore, but I got something just as good.
