I think that would be wasting your money at this point. I bought a 9600 NP for my old 1.2Ghz P3 to replace an old 7500 and it did nothing for gaming performance. ATI and Nvidia are getting ready to screw everyone out of more money with PCI express cards. Might as well wait until the major hardware standards completely shift before getting a new PC or hardware. If MS and Bungie would quit "testing" the 1.05 patch, it may do you some good. I can't understand what the holdup is. Whats with all the NDAs and secrecy!? Why don't they just tell everyone whats going on!? I don't think they beta test Windows releases this long! Anyway I won't turn this into a "where the heck is my HEK!" thread. Just hold off a while.
