Hey all, thanks for looking.

I'm looking to buy an ATi 8500 64mb DDR card from Newegg.com
Herein lies the problem, click here (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=8500&searchdepa=0&Order=priceD) and scroll down until you see one for $69 (the refurb.) then look at the one directly below it for $49. What's the difference between these two cards? For those who don't want to load another screen, here's the info...

As far as I can tell they are the same card.I would go for the one for $49.They are the correct mem and core speeds.

Thanks Dragon_Engineer, I was thinking the same thing.. just kind of confused me. I think i'll go ahead and order the $49 one, hopefully it runs circles around this onboard GF2 MX :p

Gah! Their shopping cart isn't working, nor is anything from secure.newegg.com it seems. :(
