digitalwanderer is an unknown quantity at this point

Neither, you'll be disapointed. If you can't afford a 9500/9600 pro than I'd recomend you pick up a GF4ti4200 or something....you'll be much happier with it.

Take a look at some of the "for sale/trade" boards here, nVnews, Rage3D, FutureMark, & (gulp!) HardOCP. I've gotten some excellent deals off of all of them, and if you're careful about who you buy from it's very easy and safe. (I've NEVER gotten burned on any deals. )

You should be able to find a GF4ti for about $60us now if you try.
