With 256Megs of texture memory and full dual DVI connection support for US$149, the Excalibur Radeon 9600 is targeted towards the price conscious consumer that is in need of a good upgrade for their workstation, wants to game from time to time and have some money left in their wallet.

Sure it isn't a screamer when it comes to gaming, but it was never meant to be. Gaming on a 17 inch monitor at 1024x768 set at driver defaults was very comfortable and even with moderate quality settings I could game for hours just like I could if I was using a 9800pro.
