Which way does my gpu blow air?

I have a GeForce 9600 GSO, which has served me very well

I have a few questions;
Is my gpu one "step" below the likes of 200 series from nvidia?

And as it is a single layer gpu does it blow air straight out from it ie down or does it suck it it there and blow it out somewhere else?

Hope you know what i mean, its hard to explain

I have 3 x 120mm exhaust and one 140mm intake.

You may want to add another intake fan to balance the air movement in your case as it could be struggling to get extra air in. Don't forget, your power supply is also pulling air out. Oh, and as to what your card is rated at, I hate nVidia for confusing us with all these nomenclature changes which is what they want to do. Maybe someone has a handy link to compare the two series.

There are 2 9600GSO models. One has a 192-bit memory bus, the other a 256-bit bus. The 192-bit model is slightly faster than a GT220, the 256-bit about what a GT240 runs at.
My 9800GTX+ OC is the same performance-wise as a GT250.
