An ATI Radeon 8500 LE is only $20 more then a Geforce3 TI-200(which are about $155), you can flash SOME LE's BIOS to the retail version, so you'd have a Retail Radeon 8500 for only $175(not including shipping of course). Talk to someone with more knowledge in this area before you flash the BIOS. I do not know where you can get the retail BIOS, or HOW you flash to the retail BIOS, but I know it can be done, just talk to somebody who has flashed the BIOS, or knows how to. If you don't go with the 8500LE get the Geforce 3 TI-200, Gainward and PNY are good brands, and both have a good chance of overclocking to TI500 speeds.
