Couldn't find oem 64mb 8500 on Newegg now

I remember seeing an OEM 64mb 8500 on newegg, but for some reason it's gone. Can't find retail one either. Shouldn't there also be a oem 128 8500 as well?

If you're interested in 64mb OEM Radeon 8500s, they can be found for around $105.

Here NewEgg has 2 Radeon 8500 64MB OEM cards. One is $108 , the other one is $119. whats the difference?

Also, the cheapest reatail Radeon 8500 I can find is over $150. Does the retail version worths the extra money? if yes why?

Oh that's wierd. I guess they have some problems w/ their website. I didn't click ATI's link, instead I used the drop down tool and searched for 8500 and 8500 le, and it didn't give me all the 8500 cards ATI makes. I don't know why I dind' thtink to click on ATI. Thanks guys.

Oh I think they must've taken off the original 64mb one that was clocked at 275/275, b/c these are all clocked at 230/230 or 250/230

The 64mb Retail is being phased out. ATI's online store no longer has it and the
price list page shows it as EOL - end of life.

So would the OEM version of this card be about the same?

OEM version is clocked lower, that's all.
