Well, if the reviews are confusing, it probably means they're about equal products. Since, the 8500 is cheaper, then it's the better deal.

Not necessarily. I own a geforce 3 and wouldn't trade in for the world. The geforce 3 ti 500 is supposed to be 10% faster than the vanilla geforce 3. If that is true, it would be all the card you will need. I haven't heard much about the ATI card, except that it has driver issues, but I can't remember where I read them. I'll check around at the sites I visit. I'll try to scrounge up some reveiws and opinions.
BTW, if money is an issue, you could be better off going with a 64meg geforce 2, ultra or gts. Both are good cards for less than the geforce 3. My opinion is to drop the cash for the three, though. Cya soon.

I read a few other posts by prew that have strengthened my resolve that the geforce 3 is the better card. He has posted on this forum; you just need to browse a little. I plan to reread a few; I'll post the addresses here.
