I've just been looking into this very question as a friend of mine had a quote for a new PC. The company had specced it as an Athlon XP 2400 with a 128Mb GF4 MX.
The card I've chosen (as I'm now building his system) is a Gainward Golden Sample Ti500 128Mb (4ns memory) - actually a Ti200 chip running at Ti500 speed - bargain at £73
From what I've seen on TomsHardware etc this card should outperform a Radeon 9000 Pro and also the new Radeon 9100 (based on the old 8500 LE I think)
By the way, to finance the graphics card I've dropped from the XP2400 to a XP2200 - I said he won't notice the small drop in CPU power but will notice the better vid card. Is that correct??

it will outperform the 9000pro... but not the 8500le unless it is oc'd ...
they should be around the same overall performance with the radeon 8500le/9100 able to do more in hardware due to higher ps version/architecture...

Hi Sazar,
Off post I know, but are you saying a GF3 Ti500 won't outperform an 8500LE/9100?
