The Nvidia card is 128Bit, and the ATI is 32Bit.

The Nvidia clock speeds are 175/400, and the ATI are 275/580 MHz clock speeds.

The ATI has better clock speeds, but I don't think even that would make up for the 128Bit>32Bit.

I would go with the Ti200, if that was a regual non LE 8500, then go with it, but its an LE.

The Ti200 will still play most of todays game, maybe not at high resolution, but great for a kids computer.

I had the 8500LE and now I have the geforce4 Ti4200. I think the 8500LE is FASTER than the Ti200. Check this link here. The 8500LE is faster than a Geforce3 Ti500, which I believe is faster than a Ti200.

I think a used GF4 Ti4200 (for about $30 on ebay now) is a steal.
