Strongly NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
The 9550 series is a very much cut down version of the 9600 cards.
Contrary to the description on Amazon, it is actually NOT a quad pipeline card. It's a quad pipeline card with two of the pipelines dissabled!!!
It would work OK for MAME.... but if you run any other 3D or Direct-X software, then don't even think about wasting money on this. It's SLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW!!!
If you're only going to use it for MAME and for its TV out, then it might suit you, but why buy this when you can pick up a 256Mb 9600XT for about the same money.
Best Regards,

This card is mention here mainly for people using it for mame only. 2nd, like the poster above, where are u going to get the 9600XT for 20 bucks. Yes, 3d sucks on the 95xx series, but at the same time most mame games don't even use the 3d side of it. Even a 75xx is more than enough for mame.
TOK:
The 9550 is fantastic for MAME, and that is a great price. I paid like 90 bucks for one a few months ago.
It supports the ATI DVI-component dongle, and also will natively run oddball resolutions so you don't need to mess with Powerstrip.
