Basically, what video card is better and why:


VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD2400 Pro 512MB DDR2 AGP Graphics Card

or


XFX GeForce 9600 GSO Video Card - 768MB DDR2, PCI Express 2.0, Dual Link DVI, SLI Ready

Well, the HD2400 Pro is a budget card, designed for HD video, whereas the 9600GSO is a midrange card designed for games. However, the HD2400 is AGP, which means it will only work in older systems. The 9600GSO will only work in newer PCs as it is PCI express. Your system will have one or the other of these, but it is very unlikely to have both. Check which you have before placing an order - neither of these cards are what I would buy. If you have the money, and you have a PCI express slot, I would buy a Radeon HD4670 from newegg - it has the HD2400's HD video capability but the 9600GSO's performance, it uses less power as well.
