Ok I have decided I am going to buy a Radeon 8500, and sell this VisionTek Xtasy 6564 I JUST bought. But I have a bit of a problem. There are too many different versions, manufactures, the works. I am wondering if someone could show me where I can buy the Radeon 8500 64MB retail at, I want it to be the "Built by ATI" and not the "Powered by ATI" version (Which is not truely built by ATI, other than the GPU). I am looking for the cheapest one I can find, preferably below say $110. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Ok, go to newegg.com, look under R8500LE and take the first one on the page. It's actually a R8500 OEM, if you read the user reviews. It's clocked at 250/275, instead of the 275/275 of the retail, but has 3.3ns RAM, so o/cing to retail and past'll be a cinch.
