ATI 9000 or 9700 worth the upgrade
I had inquired about upgrading my nVidia Geforce 4MX video card to the Geforce 4Ti version, I was unanomously told that it would not be worth the upgrade.
Do you feel the same about upgrading to the new ATI 9000 or when it's released the 9700?
I have a Powermac Quicksilver 933Mhz with 1024mb of ram and running OS X 10.2
I'm just trying to squeeze the last bit of performance as I'm skipping the just released Powermacs.

If you're patient...
NICE!
not sure about osx but i have nvidia cards running
on win32 & linux & they make the best drivers
out there & their attn to quality really shows
I'd recommend anyone to wait until nVidia and ATI have both released their next generation.
Ie GF5 and some souped up 9700 variant.

I've had good luck, everythings worked great from day one (hope I'm not jinxing it) and it's quiet!
I's also damn fast, this is why I've decided to skip the current machines.
You wouldn't go wrong with it, especially at $1200!
The radeon 9700 will be a monster , but will be expansive. A radeon 9500 is scheduled some times after, it will be a slighty less performant version of the 9700 with a much better prize quality ratio. It could be the good choice in the future.
