What is the difference between these two 8500LE's?

Is there any difference between these two cards, except for price?
-Crucial
-NewEgg

Make sure Crucial does'nt try to sell you one that has 6ns ram, but I would go with the Newegg one.

Pay close attention to those Buyer reviews at Newegg too, but read thru them carefully for speed details. Looks like that one is clocked 2500/200 and has 5ns ram. Looks like they are getting rid of their slow ram with these two 128mb boards

Crucial's Rad8500 is known to use abysmal clocks, 230/166 IIRC which is VERY bad for any price. A Rad8500LE should run no slower than 230/230 while the full Rad8500 should run no slower than 250/250. 8500 series are known to be hugely variable by brand, There can be a slight variation in image quality and dual RAMDACs can be missed out killing dual display functionality. Also oem versions are often slower than the retail versions and cheaper RAM inhibits o/c'ing too. So do your homework!
