Ti200 or Ti500/OEM R8500 or Retail?

[Jehdin]

Are there any differences between the G3Ti200 and the G3Ti500 other then the core/memory speeds? Also, is it possible to overclock a Ti200 to Ti500 speeds?

Are there any differences between the OEM R8500(not LE) and the Retail R8500 besides the core/memory speeds?

Also who started this LELE stuff? All I see is LE and OEM R8500's, OEM is 250Mhz Core, and LE is 230Mhz Core.....

Ok after ALOT of searching I have decided on getting a Chaintech Geforce3 Ti200 128MB DDR once it comes out (not sure when that is, haven't found a release date as of yet)
and I'll overclock it (or attemp to) to Ti500 speeds...

WRONG!! The OEM is the LE!! The LELE is 230MHz.

WRONG!!! Newegg.com lists the LE as 230Mhz, but doesn't even have the OEM, but www.goroyalpc.com has the OEM and lists it as 250Mhz (they have the LE also listed as 230Mhz)

WRONG! Newegg incorrectly lists it as the LE. The OEM is the LE. The 230MHz version is the LELE.

I'm sorry, you are right AMD Man, I guess I should make sure I know what I'm talking about before I start telling people they are "WRONG!!!" heh.

I'm preaty sure that AMD man is right. The LELE is 230mhz and the le (OEM) is 250. I know this because I just baught both a radeon 8500 listed as OEM and I baught an LE and both we exactly the same mhz wise and everything. And the LE (OEM) is not any different from the retail except for the clock speed change. And if you get a BIOS flash you can actualy make it think its a retail version and you can overclock it to 300mhz, I know I've done it. I don't think you can do it on all radeons and I know it doesn't work for the LELE. What I'm waiting for is the herculies R85. It will be clocked stock at 300mhz, if this comes to be, It will be the fasted video card on the market (stock)
