    If you paid under 200 it should be a decent buy, if you paid more then no it's not close to worth it.

    lol... he said he didnt want any referance to Radeons.

    And besides, no game even fully supports DX8 yet, I think it will be a good while before anything but 3Dmark breaches the possibilities of DX9. We have to be realistic here.

    I'm happy. I got one of the $159 9500np that does fairly well with the patch. Only problems I have right now is DX9 and 6XAA at 1600x1200. I would have loved the overclockability on the 9700np though

    I had exactly $232 to spend. That is all I had. I spent 227. Heh.. I know for a fact the Radeons are better. My question was how this 4600 compared with other 4600's. That's it.
