The 9600GT is a great card, only slightly better than the 8800GT and a little pricier, it will murder the 7900's
As for it being called TECHNO, its just a name

I have to agree with Carbon.

The 9600 is a good card for the money, and a high-oc'd one will be a better performer than a 256mb 8800GT. But it can't touch a decently oc'd 512mb 8800GT. Even with the price increase of the 512mb 8800 over the 9600 I still think think the 512mb 8800 is better value for money.

Yep.

The 8800GT 512Mb is better than the 9600 and I think worth the extra if you can afford it and will be better at higher resolutions as well.
