I would call the video built onto the mobo of a $400 Dell system (brand new) "low end." Compared to that, the ATi 9600 is serious hardware. Price has little to do with being low-end or high end. I can point out video cards meant for graphics workstations that are slower than an nVidia 5200, but cost thousands of dollars. Then we have all the "high end" ATi video cards which are actually all fairly low cost. Low cost doesn't necessarily mean low end. It's the progression of computer technology, and I just love it. I remember when I paid $400 for a Virge VX with 4M of DRAM. Now people think a 64M 9600 is "low end."
