Thats pretty much high end now, a ti200 is a very good buy, cheap and fast as hell, and overclockable too if the mood strikes you.

I was considering an ATI 8500 for a long time, I've been working all summer (in Australia), and I still don't have enough money for everything I want.

I'm buying my new system in a few weeks, and I am trying really hard to get everything as cheap as possible, without compromising performance. I want to get this system NOW! I've been waiting for 18 months to get enough money, so here's what I'm getting:

Soltek SL-DRV-4
AthlonXP 2000+
Seagate 7200rpm 40GB HDD
256MB PC2100 DDR
Alpha PAL 8045 w/80mm
?Leadtek GeForce3 Ti200 64M?

I can afford all this at the moment, and as extra money comes in throughout the year I will be adding things to it.

I don't want to settle for second best on any (important) component, but I don't have enough money for the ATI 8500. Do you think I should really wait for the money?

As I get the money I will be adding things like a Lian Li PC69 w/Leadman 400W P/S, DVD player (havn't decided on a brand), Hercules XPS 510 speakers, and a Creative Audigy Platinum (I will have to put up with AC'97 for a while :frown: ).

Any further suggestions or comments?

Get the ti200 and overclock it, many of them can go to fill ti500 speed, and that is a GREAT deal for 150$

hmmm.... i see. how do you get your parts? from what i hear parts are expensive in some parts of the world. have you seen pricewatch.com? some of the companies offer international shipping. you should be able to get the ati 8500 for $162 retail. thats about $15 more than the ti200. the comany i checked has international shipping, but i don't know how much it would be.

He's right the RETAIL 8500 is available for $160 or less and ATI is to release very soon drivers that should make it much faster than a Ti 500.

I've been 2 pricewatch.com & I saw a retail 8500 for US$159 (which is cheaper than the Leadtek Ge3 I was gonna get down here) at ENPC.com, but they don't seem to ship internationally...
I have e-mailed them to check this...
Does ne1 know of a reliable place that will ship internationally, and charges reasonable prices?

I would just like to go on record saying that a GeForce 256 SDR is a "decent midrange card". It games pretty good too, ie. Quake 3 1024 x 768 @ 140 fps. Holy crap, you guys are all so spoiled! I've got an Athlon 1 Ghz, 40 gig hd, GeForce 256 sdr and I'm happier than a pig in [-peep-]!

It really makes me sick hearing some of you guys complain about your 3dmark scores on your XP 2000+ with your TI500. Get over it already, computers aren't EVERYTHING.

Sorry for my rant, I'm having one of those days.

Heh

Vad fint att det finns svenskar här. Men va fan.... behöver man en GeForce 2 för att surfa på internet?!?!? Nej, man behöver en Ati Rage II med 4 MB.

Usch.
