best radeon for dvi . . . at newegg?

[hconnorjr]

i'm going to go back on my earlier post and try another radeon dvi since they are so cheap at newegg. but which is the best one to own of those they have? i don't need superfancy graphics. i only use ms flightsim. otherwise i have a planar 17in and i want the dvi out. all suggestions welcome.

according to the crucial comparison, yes. the le has 6ns and the 9000 series has less than 3 ns.

My 128M retail 8500le has 3.6 Nsec RAM.

You don't want the crucial 8500, it does have 6ns ram (thats what ATI used on the original 32MB DDR Radeon...slow) the crucial 9700 thanfully uses the same 2.86 ns ram as the other 9700 pro cards.
