OK. I'll be getting that then. Haven't been doing my research on ATI cards that much so that's why I asked.

Nope!
Wrong, the Radeon 8500LE is betta that a GeForce3, but never betta than a GeForce4. The one betta than a GeForce4 is the Radeon 9700 or whatever
None else to say

ATI over nvidia for those cards, 8500LE beats the 440mx if my memory serves me correct, www.anandtech.com should provide enough information to help you some where on the website

It's not just about beating it in benchmarks, but also about feature support.
GF 4 440 MX = DX7 card
Radeon 8500LE = DX 8.1 card

Geforce is cheaper. It's directX8 too, but sometimes a bit slow. Radeon is the best for n64 emulation.

believe me, if I could I would get a geforce4 ti4200 but I can't spend over $100 for the vid card. My budget won't allow it because if I get the cheapest ti4200, it will go over my budget. The cheapest ones I can find are at least over $110. I can get either the geforce4 mx440 or the radeon 8500LE for $72 which is a very good bargain compared to what these cards cost normally in stores.Originally posted by sk8bloke22
