Radeon 7500 is base on the 1 radeon but with high clock speed

Radeon 8500 base on R200
More pixel pipeline Faster memories Hyper-Z 2 (memory manager) Direct X8 full support also it the most advance Pixel shader.

Go for Radeon 8500 OEM great preformance a lot feature also a way better price that Nvidia.
