Some 8500LE reviews
Watch out for the slower clocked 8500LE's at 250/230 or 230/230 etc.

Even the 8500LE at 250/250 is considerably faster than a stock ti200.
The Ti200's ability to clock to ti500 speeds makes it the attractive choice it is today.
Overclocking the 8500LE is not very rewarding.

I'd still go for the 8500 on such a hugh beast. the 8500 sclaes better with bigger CPU's while the GF3 seems to close the gap on the smaller rigs. Yours is about middle ground so should see good use of the 8500.

Its trueform is one feature already missid by GF owners todayand ATI's driver are a good deal better than only a month ago.

Have faith, its a great card.
