Which is better for my rig? (It's in my sig...) I have them both at the same price ($50) so I'm good for that. I'm not to hard-core of a gamer, but I play Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, the Quake series, and various console emus a lot. And if I were to put it in a crappier system (P2-300@337, 128MB PC100), what kind of performance would I get...BTW, right now I'm not too interested in playing at 32-bit resolution or anything, just fastest 16-bit modes...Thanx in advance!!!

I would suggest the Radeon LE. It is on par with the Geforce256 DDR. Therefore, it will beat the SDR any day. You can check out some good comparisons of benchmarks here. This site compares every graphics card on the market. If you don't know already, you can unlock the LE to perform like the full Radeon 32MB DDR card pretty easily.

Just out of curiosity, where are you finding the Radeon LE for $50? That is a sweet price!

The Radeon LE is faster than the GF SDR, even at stock speeds.

EDIT: but your CPU sucks bigtime. It's not going to cut the mustard in any of the newer games.
