So what kind of Graphics Cards are you guys using?
Do you know??? If so, post em
I'm currently using an MSI Geforce 6600GT AGP that's been probably the best bang for my bucks anything I've purchased in a very long time. Thoroughly impressed.
I use mine for gaming (Battlefield 2, Doom 3, Half Life 2, Farcry, etc) watching/editing movies, and basic windows XP computer use

I used to have a 9700 Pro and the memory fried so it got cool psychadelic looking video corruption artifacts.
A co-worker had a 9800 Pro just laying around in its sealed box and sold it to me for $120 and I've had that for a while.
I only play at 1280x768 (on my 32" LCD HDTV) which is not super high res, so with FSAA and AF maxed out I still get good rates on everything, including HL2.
Have you guys seen the hack to enable adaptive anti-aliasing on the 9700 and above radeons with the catalyst 5.9 drivers?

my rig:
AMD 2800+ 1.8ghz OCed to 1.97ghz @ FSB 218mhz
Patriot extreme performance 1gb pc3200 stick
ECS mobo from fry's
80gb WD 8mb cache 7200rpm
bfg 6800Gt OCed to 410 / 1100 ultra speeds
and i only get 4000 ..... =( a sad score considering a regular 6800 is getting the same score at www.tomshardware.com

Don't get mad, but even my 9500 Pro is faster than your 9600 Pro.
I've had mine for well over 2 years now so I'm due for an upgrade.

Last 5years it had been a NVIDIA Cards.... Decided to give ATI a try, earlier this year bought a 9800pro, Fast card..great FPS but the quailty in graphics did not compare to Nvidia cards....just around as BF2 came out bought a 800XT AIW PRO. Not bad...but it will be my last ATI card....and they have messy drivers.
not to mention it has a 17 " widescreen.
