ATI Radeon 7500 vs Radeon 8500

[nyt]

Is there any significant difference in the performance and graphics between the Radeon 7500 and 8500? Is it really worth the extra $85?

The Radeon 8500 provides about twice the performance of Radeon 7500.

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor

 

[profjo00]

get the radeon 8500 for 140-150 from best buy or compUSA. go for that instead fo a radeon 7500 for the same price

I'm in Canada, and the closest place to me has Radeon 7500 for $224.95 and Radeon 8500 for $299, so it's an $85 difference after taxes.
