    You think my crappy HP Pavilion a330n can handle this graphics card. Last time i bought one i had to return it... it kept on crashing my pc... how good do you think madden 06 will look if i use this card?

    It would be helpful if you gave the specs of your computer as I am really lazy and don't want to go to Google and look them up. Anyways, your second question. The first card is retail and the second is OEM. Retail means you get the card with the box and software and cables and such. OEM means you get only the card in an antistatic bag and maybe some cables. Usually OEM cards are cheaper because of the lack of cables, but in this case it obviously isn't.

    Yeah that computer isn't really bad at all, you should be able to play Madden '06 fairly well with this card, it can handle BattleField 2 on modest settings anyway.
    Your computer has a Athlon XP 3000+ and 512Mb's or ram right? (want to make sure I got the specs right).

    Yeah that card sould do fine but also note that with big name manufacturers like that they dont put very good PSU's in them. In case your wondering your mobo is an ASUS A7N8X-LA uATX board. Curious, what card did you put in it before?

    yeah it has AMD 3000+ 512MB 120GB HDDand i think the power supply is like 350w... the card i had tried before was, well they dont have it at best buys website any more but it was like GeForce MX 4000 Graphics Card AGP 128 MB DDR. So you guys think i can play madden 06 maxed out settings with the SAPPHIRE ATLANTIS RADEON 9600XT.

    The one for $93.50 is the retail box and carries a longer warranty. The one for $93 even is the OEM (white box) and the bare essentials. The retail box may have some additional goodies in addition to the longer warranty.
