The 7000 imho would be the better bet, speed wise it will be close. Lots of overclocking potential with the 32 ddr card.

But your better bet for not much more money is the 7500. It is great value for the cash, and as dissolved said the best is the 8500 but it is double the price of a 7500 and does not give double the performance but it is The card to have.

The 32DDR is faster. But I think overall it's fairly close after tweaking.

I've got Radeon LE which is a 32DDR card with a chip that didn't meet ATI's specs and came out as a third party card. Anyway, its similar to what you have and I've got it completing 3DMark2001 oc'd to 180. I've read articles claiming to get it to 190+. as with CPUs, it varies.

got the 7200 for my girlfriend's budget computer... haven't OC'd it yet though. WIll get new drivers & directx 8.1, but there's no fan on this card, so I'll put my old lapped blorb on it, and maybe some cheapo ramsinks. What progs work to OC ATI cards?

You can use Powerstrip 3.12. Find the dl on this page:

or try Radeon Tweaker which is here:

and there is Raid-On Tweaker which lives here:
