Radeon 9000 ($74) and 9000 Pro ($99) @ Newegg

[Searchname]

I'd stick with the 8500, even the 8500LE because they outperform the 9000 series. At any rate, it is a great price for a very decent card:

Sounds good.... I want the 128mb DDR tho... Holding out till I get a good deal there.

Thanks for the corrected link, sometimes this wireless keyboard misses characters. BTW, there still doesn't appear to be much of a difference between 64MB & 128MB on identical video cards.

I think the 9000Pro is a little better than the 8500 at higher video settings. Kinda like the MX460 is better than a GF3ti at DX7 games but the GF3ti is better at DX8 games.

But the price of the 8500 should be dropping even lowwer now that these are coming out. And the GF4ti should also come down some. Good for everybody.
Now I just have to wait for the Barton Athlon
