radeon 8500 or 9200?

Thanks, I got carried away with it for sure. Only used a small handful of spikes in the framing. It's mostly screws throughout. If you're doing framing, you must dabble in other carpentry, no?

But anyway, do you have a good source for student discounts on Windows XP?

i thought an 8500 was comparable (if not better) than a GF4 4200, and way better than a GF3

at least in 3dmarks

Geforce 4 4200 will blow the pants off of a 8500 in most games...although they might be close in 3dmark...but when was the last tiem you played that?

The order of cards from best to worst on my worthwhile to buy list is:

9800PRO
9700
9500PRO
9600
GF 4 4200
8500
