Really? I thought ATI 9800 (actually 9700 due to lack of Linux support in
9800) was faster than GF4 family cards. I heard bad things about the new
GF cards. Like 2 slots, hotter, not much faster, etc. Did I hear it wrong?

You won't get improvement with the ATI 9800. Soem games may actually run
slower. Better off with the top of the line FX cards, which will run the
128bit color version of DOOM III very well. OF course by then the optimized
drivers will be out.

Ti500? I have never heard of it. What is that in the Ti series scale?
Faster model than Ti4200?

It's the fastest GeForce3 model. My particular one is made by Hercules
and is very good for overclocking. As I said, my Ti4600, although
noticeably better, is not the huge improvement I would have expected.

I didn't overclock the Ti500 except to test it once. Perhaps I should
have.

The Ti4200 should be faster.


If you can even find ti500's around now, they're still (imho) the best
bang
for the buck. They're almost the same pace as a 4200 and generally 40%
cheaper. I have a PNY ti500 and just run it stock, quite slick.

Next upgrade will likely be a shift over to the ATI side of things, I
haven't tried their newer line of cards for quite sometime.
