I got a bunch of offers for different GF4 TI's and need help deciding which one to get. They are

1.I have a BFG GeForce 4 Ti4200 (4280 8xAGP) 128MB video card. VGA/DVI/SVIDEO ouputs, comes with a thermaltake GF4 series cooling on it, copper core heatsink and aluminum ram heatspreaders/sinks, and blue LED if thats your thing (can be unplugged/removed.)

2. It is 8x AGP 128mb RAM. Its an ASUS. 4200

3. Gainward GF4 Ti-4200 128M 8X...

4.I have a highly overclockable chaintech 4200 64mb. Just the card tho, modded with a HSF from an asus 4600 for better cooling.

5. A TI4600 128mb don't know manufacturer.
 
I've read in several places that the 128mb cards were not much better, many times worse, than the 64mb versions. That being said, I've got a Gainward Ultra 650 64mb DDR Ti4200 that I'm trying to get rid of. It does, however, have some kind of problem with a capacitor on it (at least that's all I could find in doing some thorough investigations on a problem I had with it). It would randomly freeze up and make my screen look like a flashing quilt and nothing but a hard reboot could undo it.

I doubt you even want to mess with it but I at least wanted to share my experience with Gainward's Ti series. Of the list you've put up, I would go with the Asus since I've never had any problems with their mobos or vid cards.
