For a 100.00 or less you should look at a 8500le or a GF3 Ti500, those are the best cards out for under 100.00

yea i agree... in alot of cases 8500le overclocks much higher then the ti4200's... 3dmark wise i dunno which is better, but also remember that gf4's have dx9 support (for in the long run)...

A GF4ti4200 will score way higher than a 8500

8500 max score 13,916

ti4200 max score 15,970
