    gforce 4 4200 is better.
    the newer games are optimized for it.
    it is supposed to really really run good on ut 2003

    I would grab a good TI4200 like Leadtek, or MSI, or VisionTek. Overclock one of these and they perform at the same level as a TI4600. I wouldnt be looking for significant price drops on 4600's either, nVidia usually discontinues production of cards when they are replaced by newer technology. The vendors that already have the cards in stock paid a price that dosent allow much room for discounting. Its not like they ever close these things out.

    4200. HINT: It's more expensive! Haha. But that's not the reason. More ram, faster GPU, and it's more suited for newer games. The Ti500 has been around over over a year, while the Ti4200 was just released no more than 2 months ago. Get the 4200!

    No question (unless budget is an issue) Ti4200.

    You get almost the Ti4600 performance for WAY cheaper, about $200 cheaper.
