Which Nvidia to choose??? GeForce4 Ti Series

[4megaserver]

I am buying a Nvidia GeForce4 Ti Series card for my new side-kick machine I just bought. It is really going to be for friends who don't feel like lugging their machine over on LAN party night, so it needs to play CS, CZ, and WC3 in a non-laggin mannor. I asked before which to get between the GeForce4 Ti 4200 and the ATi 8500, and I was swayed toward the 4200. I've always been an ATi guy myself, so I really didn't know much about the Ti series lineup of cards and since my last post I have done some research on them. I guess my question now is which Ti should I get for the best quality and preformance? 4200, 4400, or 4600? Are those the only ones they made? I assume the 4600 is prolly the best, but... I got this info from www.tomshardware.com

GeForce4 Ti 4600-8x NVIDIA NV25 DX 8.1 300 650 128-bit 4x2
GeForce4 Ti 4600 NVIDIA NV25 DX 8.1 300 650 128-bit 4x2
GeForce4 Ti 4400 NVIDIA NV25 DX 8.1 275 550 128-bit 4x2
GeForce4 Ti 4200-8x NVIDIA NV28 DX 8.1 250 514 128-bit 4x2
GeForce4 Ti 4200 128 NVIDIA NV25 DX 8.1 250 444 128-bit 4x2
GeForce4 Ti 4200 64 NVIDIA NV25 DX 8.1 250 514 128-bit 4x2

Now I want to make it clear that I do not want a 8X card for this thing, its an older Compaq Professional Workstation (Dual P3 1Ghz) and it has the old 4x slot. If im going to get an 8x card I'll just get a ATi 9500 Pro, but I really want to try out a Ti Series Nvidia and the 8x card isn't going to do me any good on the 4x bus anyway. I just included the 2 8x cards in the list because thats whats on the site and I wanted you to see what im seeing. This looks like the one to get to me:
GeForce4 Ti 4600 NVIDIA NV25 DX 8.1 300 650 128-bit 4x2

What brand of this card would give the best quality picture and preformance, while still giving a long life?

Sorry to be a pain, but I just want to get the right thing for the job.

Thanks for all your help!!

Well the ti4600 is going to be better than a ati8500 or any of the other ti's. My dad built a rig for a friend and the 8500le performed slightly better than my dads ti4200 (which I managed to burn with my massive skill). The 8500le is pretty cheap though. THe ti4600 is the best out of the lineup. There is also a ti4800, but it isn't that great so stay away from it. I think the 4400 is pretty good too, but all of them can get the job done.

A wrap-up: ti4600 is the best. Ti4400 is pretty good and fairly cheap, the ati8500le is great for the money, and the ti4200 is good for the money.

For the games you have writen about, all of those cards can play them at max res and detail.
If you want AA and AF, the lower down the list you get, the less filtering you can use lag-free.
