[QUOTE="McNibblewittz, post: 727349, member: 55368"] Purchasing that card for learning games and basic online games seems like a gigantic waste of money. Especially since, in addition to buying the card, he would almost definitly have to upgrade his power supply. How well did you read his post? I'm sure his children really need Reader Rabbit and some online flash games running at 100+ fps. Granted Vista is a resource hog, the 9600 is still overkill considering all of the lower end cards that can run it just fine. Check out: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102754[/url]. Not only will that more than meet his needs but it is still comparable to the card you suggested and is considerably cheaper. Maybe if his kids are trying to run Crysis or something then yah then go with the 9600 but considering they are playing learning games I'm going to assume that they are still pretty young and aren't exactly hardcore gamers.
