I've been asking back and forth about video cards...
I see online there are lots of vendors selling the BFG GeForce FX 5900
card for around $175 including shipping.

Is that not a very good price?

I've been considering the ATI RADEON 9600.

Between the two, which is better and more worth the money?

I don't want to have any problems like I've been having with my eVga
card with power warnings etc. I've got ample power.

Recommendation?
TIA

Basically, which would be better:
the BFG or the ATI?

Better yet, I now see that for $175, my distributor has the ATI RADEON
9600 XT.

Good?

Go to <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.pricewatch.com" target="_blank">www.pricewatch.com</a> and simply type in BFG 5900

Plenty of hits mostly in the high $160s + shipping ends up around
$172-ish.

Incidentally, I've ordered the ATI RADEON 9600XT.
I hope I'm happy with that card.
