GeForce 3 Ti 200 Retail VS. Radeon 8500 LE OEM -- PLEASE HELP ME!!

[Paralyzer]

OK. Currently I'm torn between these two things. I can do one of the two.

A.) VisionTek GeForce 3 Ti 200 Retail - Solid as hell drivers, good company, 4ns RAM, no compatibility issues, warranty, pretty cheap. $178.
B.) Radeon 8500 LE OEM - Weak drivers, OEM =(, compatibility issues, but, much faster, even in its OEM LE form, and for $188.

I've had people tell me to go both ways. I need some help here. Just your opinion, and why, if possible. That would help me so so so so much. Thanks. Happy Holidays.

The real questions is whether you like ATI or Nvidia. Basically, Geforce 3 (whether ti200 oc to the geforce 3 speeds) has it's advantages and disadvantages over the Radeon 8500. I would prefer geforce 3 ti200, but u should aim cheaper to satisfy yourself. But there are the many loyalists that would say 8500, the only way for u to realli decide is get both cards and decide which one u like more.
