        Yeah, the SE stands for ****ty edition. The pro is much better.

          It would run the game, not to the best quality, but for other games and for better quality in BF2, I'd suggest you save up a little more and get something like this:

            Yeah what they said.

            The 9600 Pro is well worth the extra $19, plus you'll likely get better warranty from Newegg.

                Its the SE at the speed of the Pro or something, but it still sucks compared to the True pro

                  You get the most bang for the buck with the $59 Pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102408

                    I wouldn't waste your money on a 9600pro. They have been proven to be outdated now.

                      Well i dont think he got that kind of money, thats why he wants a 9600 If he gets an powerful video card, he would a power CPU to feed it,

                      Braheem, whats your specs now

                        There is actually no such thing as a 9600 Pro SE. This is one of the reasons why Ebay can be bad. The seller has mislabelled the item. I'll have a look around and see if I can tell from the picture.

                            OK going by the picture it is a 9600 Pro. It matches the pictures on Sapphire's site, and looks nothing like the SE.



                            As mentioned that are better cards out there, but if you're tight for cash this is a decent card; assuming you're upgrading from onboard video. Just make sure you have an AGP slot to put it in.
