Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your previous help. I ordered my system, but I left out the video card so I could shop around for the best deal, and do some more research to find out what I really want.
Can you give me any info on a "Lite Retail" version of a Sapphire Radeon 9600 128mb. I think I want to go for the 9600, I've heard good things about the Sapphire, but I don't know about this Lite deal, other than I don't get any games or software.
This is the iterm description, it's off ebay:
The seller said the Lite version doesn't come with utility software, such as "PowerDVD and games."
Thanks
