Which of those video cards is the best to buy?

Well, if we are limited to the choices on that page, my vote is on the Radeon 9550.

what frame rate does the 9550 offer?

Well, that is OK.

Do you have the option to buy online?? There are better ones out there for the same price as Wal-Mart.

I hate to say it, but have to agree with GS. Your options are very, very limited. As that one is the best one listed.

The issue of frame rates will come down to what kind of number-cruncher (processor) you have and the front side bus speed of your motherboard, as well as the configuration of your RAM slots and the speed of your agp port on the motherboard. From there, you have to account for hard drive seek times and IDE speed. Then, adjusting the settings in Windows and Flight Simulator, which can be a real peach sometimes. So, as you can see, if you have a lesser video processor, you will benefit either greatly or not at all because it has to be a system solution, not a component one unless you have the system to support it. Get it?
