Oh ya im not interested in OC'ing or anything like that, maybe down the line I will be but for right now I just want to slap the sucker in and play games ;)
Get the Geforce4ti4200..its better than the ATI 8500 le
The Gf4 performs better.
:)
The Gainward ti4200 128MB is faster but costs around $200. For $25 more you can have a ti4400.
With the jump to ti4400 you get a cleaner 8 layer PCB and BGA ram which both help to reach higher clockspeeds.
The Retail ATI 8500 128MB 275/275MHz w 3.6ns BGAram is going for $162 at Newegg.Thats not bad value.
As far as speed goes,its not far behind a 128Mb ti4200.
