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

[EDIT] Gah! Their shopping cart isn't working, nor is anything from secure.newegg.com it seems. [/EDIT]
