A: I assume you have an AGP set up that is why you posted AGP cards. The X1600 Pro is better. It has 12/5 pixel/vertex shaders and suport Shader 3.0. ATI 9550 is weaker with only 4/2 pixel/vertex shaders and only supports the outdated Shader 2.0. Also consider the newer AGP cards: http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3570073&CatId=318 It has better capability for high definition video too.
