Yesterday I ordered an ATI Radeon 64Mb, and today I found out I can get a Hercules 3D Prophet 8500 128MB DDR card priced 15% lower than the ATI!?
Ok I know ATI surely charges for it?s name but Hercules provides 128MB of DDR to a lower price, It doesn?t feel good. Shall I return the ATI card once I get it an order a Hercules or does the ATI card have advantages that motivate the purchase? I need your opinions on this.

(I think the Hercules might be an OEM card while the ATI is a retail version, can that be the reason why?)

Thanks
