need advice on present

Geminiwave · Nov 6, 2005, 12:53 AM

alright so I forgot my best friend's birthday...or rather i didnt forget it but he didnt say what he wanted and therefore I never got him a gift..

well he really wants to play Fable now so I gave him my disc but he has a geforce4 and that wont play fable. SO I'm going to buy him a new card for birthday\christmas.

my problem is that im stuck. I'm at my absolute limit on how much I'm willing to spend and I've found these two cards

Definitely the 9550, just do make sure that it's not the 64bit version. The one you linked to looks good, although I'm always weary of refurb stuff.
