Need Video Card Advice - ATI

With ATI's naming scheme, I cant figure out What's a decent card for the $$ Im willing to spend.

Looking for a card that has the performance and price of a GF Ti4200 128mb. Looking to spend between $50 to $70 used.

Can you help?

I look for the 9600 (np) if you can find it -- much better than the 9200. The 9600 go for around $95 new so you should be able to find one in your price range. The 9600?s generally overclock very well too.

9600pro?s new are going for $109 at newegg, so you might even score a used 9600pro in your price range -- would be a good jump over the 9600np.
 
The ATI rough equivalent is a non-LE Radeon 8500. Been hunting for a deal on an 8500 or a ti4200 myself (for the wife's PC - she has my very flakey 8500, which needs to be replaced).

Both the ti4200 and the 8500 go for $40-70ish on the used market. I'm trying to find one on the low end of the price scale (near-er $50 than $70).

Ebay seems to be the only place to get an 8500.
