SLTPilot,

I purchased the ATI 9550 256MB AGP card and while I find it to be adequate for running AFPD on my 1.6 GHz P4, I would not recommmend the 9550 over other cards as I consider the performance to be less than desired and certainly less than I expected. I would be interested to hear comments from other users of this card.

Interestingly the ATI 9500 and 9600 series cards are frequently included in various test results but not the 9550...

For example see this link to a review of graphics cards by Tom's Hardware http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...110/index.html

Although the ATI 9550 card performance was equated with the 9600 in the text, the 9550 is not actually included in the benchmark tests results... and note that the 9600 ranks very low in the benchmarks compared to other cards tested...

Anyone else with personal experience care to comment on ATI 9550 card?

Thanks, Bucko
