I'm replacing my very old and lousy videocard with a new one for HL2 (I get to finally play it this weekend!), and was considering the 9600 XT.
I don't have the money to drop for the super high-end cards, but I was wondering how much I'll be missing out by not spending the extra 80 dollars (the 9600 XT is something like $170 at my local shop) for something like a 9800 pro.
So yea-
what specific features/qualites would I lose in the 9600 XT vs the 9800 pro?
is there another card at about the same price or lower that would be better?

My specs:
2.0 Ghz processor
512 MB RAM


Thanks.
