    For the money I'd personally go for the GeForce 9600!

    The memory alone is DDR3 same as the others only.. it's 256BIT@1800Mhz instead of 128BIT@2000... I'd expect it'd give the other two a firm beating! That is assuming the drivers are up to spec and the system is tweaked. That actually isn't a bad card at all for the price!...

    The first one on your list, the NVidia 9600GT card, is BY FAR the better card of the three you listed. I had a 9600GT for about a year and loved it. Now that the price is under $100, it is (IMO) the best bang-for-the-buck card available right now. The other two cards you listed are only 128bit, and one has only 256mb. The 9600GT is 512mb with a 256bit bus. It basically destroys the two other cards you listed. I strongly recommend it.
