    you are no exception, many people cant tell the difference between the "se" and regular, but the regular beats a gf2u

    Yes, sure 9700 Pro is an amazing card. But most common folks like myself can't afford/justify $270+ for a video card when I have to use that money to buy my baby's food or diapers. Thus, my 8500LE will have to suffice and maybe when 9500 Pro drops to sub-$100 range, I will pick one up.

    Until I find a job that pays much more, 8500LE is it. shucks. How sad... But no regrets with my beautiful baby girl!
    I agree totally, now try it with 4 kids under 6

    Cheers,
