Can't tell. They both link the the nVidia GeForce FX5200...a fair judgement cannot be determined without knowing both cards

I do not see much a difference between the two except refurb and not refurb...is the amount of onboard RAM different? Whatever it is, I'd suggest getting the new one whatever the case.

I love NewEgg and do the majority of my online shopping with them, but their use of "refurb" is misleading. A "refurb" could mean anything, including just "open box" items and even defective parts that were returned. If you think you may want to go "refurb" then allow yourself for the possiblity for getting a DOA part and having the hassle of having to return it in within their strick guidlines.
