Visiontek Xtasy GeForce4 Ti4400 128M DDR DVI TV out AGP - Retail Box, Life time warranty, Pre-order: ETA Late March

Manufacture: Visiontek
Model no.: GeForce4 Ti4400
$279.00

Hercules 3D Prophet III Titanium 500 64MB AGP ,Retail Boxed

Manufacture: Guillemot-Hercules
Model no.: 4766060
$339.00

Which is the better card...I haven't been keeping up with the industry and can't figure out why a 128Mb card is cheaper than a 64Mb one. I don't think it is just the manufacturer name because I have heard praise for Visiontek cards. Someone please help straighten me out

Nvidia has not lowered the price of their Geforce 3 cards, which is what the Hercules is (TI500). The Geforce 4 Ti4400 will blow it away (as much as double the performance in FSAA)

I do not like it Tom you see,
I do not like green PCB.
