If you need the Multi-Monitor support then the Radeon VE is one hell of a card for it's price, otherwise your definitely better off with the Radeon LE.

The VE is basically a neutered Radeon with no T&L, half the pixel pipelines etc, but it add's an excellent multi-monitor implementation.

for about $200cdn you can get a radeon 7500 which is faster, and has dual display. The VE is really slow if you plan to game at all.

I must be part scottish if not half because $200.00 seems like alot of money for a video card. The most money I have ever spent on a video card was $195.00 and that was for a matrox G400-tv marvel last christmas. It sounds like the le is the way to go so what is difference between these two.

AGP 64MB ATI Radeon 7200 ($105.73) and ATI Radeon Chipset 64MB SDR w/TV ($101.85)

Thats not a lot of money at all... you are buying the bottom of the barrel for vid cards IMO, rage and tnts are no longer acceptable.

The price goes from about 100 right to 200, not much inbetween.
