Sorry I disagree. If you want a 9600 card go for at least the 9600XT. It is more expensive, but not by that much. It struggles slightly with Doom 3, and you will probably want to play it in 800*600. However, it is only slightly more expensive than the Pro, and WILL DEFINATELY have a substantial improvement over the 9200SE which is pretty crappy. It will certainly nail Dues Ex and Generals to the wall. So in answer, yes it is worth getting, but try for an XT if you can swing it, as the rest of you system is not to bad.
