Radeon 8500 64MB or 9000Pro 128MB?

[Alexander269]

I own a Manli Rdeon 64MB and I'm thinking of getting a 9000Pro 128MB.I've seen reviews which show that the 8500 is faster than 9000Pro in video games, but I have not found out whether it's the 128MB or the 64MB version of the 8500 that is tested vs the 9000Pro.Will I get an increased performance in video gaming with the 9000Pro or should I keep my old 8500 64MB?Your thoughts on the matter are welcome

do no upgrade if you are going to buy a 9000pro.
8500 is faster than a 9000pro

Keep the 8500. It's still a good card, and will be for a while.

Stay with the 8500. A 64meg 8500 will still be faster then a 128meg 9000Pro.

The extra memory won't help you right now, but the 8500 is faster. Also beware of 128MB 8500LE cards which often come with very low speed memory, I suggest getting a full version 8500 OEM instead.
