Well, from the specs available, I guess that number 2 or 3 would be preferrable, as I think the 9100 has a Radeon 8500, rather than the slower LE version. Yet, number 1 is the most expensive. Confusing...

Chances are I'll go with number 2, as I've never heard of Connect3D (ie. it must be a bad brand :-P).

@L8-X:
No problem finding it here. In fact, I found more 9100 branded models than 8500 ones when I searched earlier today.

@Ami603:
Nice! I'll probably go for the one below. Cheap, light, elegant, quiet and well built, according to reviews.

> Hey! No fair! My Radeon 8500 Mac edition has 64 ddr or whatever it is. How did that happen? My card isn't a limited edition either, WTF is going on here?

I'm sorry to say, but it seems you have yesteryear's technology. 64MB? I doubt you could even boot with that...:-P

Seriously, though, I think it was the 8500LE which used to come with 128MB, while the faster 8500 usually came with 64MB. With the relabelling to "9100", 128MB seems to be the trend for most cards though.

> So Mike and i have faster cards than 8500LE 128Mb ones, or not?
I think so, yes.

@Helgis75:
Hey, I've been here for a while. I'm not as active as before, though. I'm trying to devote more time to other stuff this semester (working on my game, improving my judo, learning Spanish:-)).

@Ami603:

Thanks, but I'm not on a level where I can communicate very much in Spanish yet, especially not in writing :-). Hopefully I will have learned some more before my summer holiday to La Manga, though. :-D

Your English seems to be very good, anyway, as far as I can judge.
