hello friends
my friend have a pc loaded with xp. recently he asked me about which graphic card to buy having a price tag not more than 7000.
i recommended geforce xfx 8600 and 9600.but iam in a confusion.
1)which of them are good
2)is there any other options.
3)does 8 series and 9series give the same performance for xp
has its made to work more with vista
4)should i look for any 7 series cards.
5) what extent would a on-board gpu would provide decent gamming. can we recommened a on-board graphics motherboard for a average gamer.if yes which one.

was my choice right.......

Go for 8600 gt, if u want vfm or else go for 9600gt. Ur choice.

I don't recommend onboard to anyone.If u want gaming go for graphics card.
