Just did a re-run of 3Dmark 2001 on my AMD XP2000+ rather than my AMD 1400Mhz Thunderbird and the difference on my Albatron Geforce 4 4200 Ti P Turbo is 1620 (1100 before) and the new detonator XP drivers let me push the clock another Mhz higher on the card. This card is truly amazing me with it performance. Even the Full Screen Anti Aliasing (FSAA) runs well without taking a performance hit too badly on most games.

I have to apologize. I am not running in 2X/16X like I always say I am... I am running in 2X/8X. Not a big deal though... on to the screen shot comparisons.
Here is your reference image:

Here is an image on my 9500 Pro with 2X AA and 8X AF @ 800x600:
http://www.n00bstories.com/image.view.php?id=1606257431
This is what I normally play in. I have circled areas that are of intrest.
Here is the same general area with 4X AA and 8X AF:
http://www.n00bstories.com/image.view.php?id=2127526661
And i didn't say you can find 9500 Pro's for 120 bucks. I said they were 200 retail. since you were considering a 4600, i threw it in. You can however buy a 9500 non-pro 128MB online for around 140. The difference between the Pro and non-pro is 4 pixel pipelines (4 on non-pro, 8 on pro). There is a speed hit, and the non-pro is more inline with a 4200 speed-wise.
Food for thought for everyone

Alright thanks, I can definately see the difference in the 4X AA and 8X AF, its fairly significant I guess...
And tell me this, isn't it possible to get 3.1 Megabits on a cable modem? My friend (Jiggarozz) says you can't, but then i went to this site:
http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest thats what i got, is it legit?
Thanks for all your help, I'll see what i can find. 
Update: I've found it, this is what I'm going with!

I'm positive this is the best bang for my buck and since my friend in Ohio can get it for half off, this is a sweet deal...

Once again, I have to urge you NOT to buy a Radeon 7500. If you want a card of that level of performance, I need to urge you to purchase either a GF4MX or a GF2 Pro/TI. However, for the sub-100 market you can easily pick up a Radeon 8500LE 128MB that will easily outperform a GF4MX, Radeon 9000, and 7500.

Yeah Bear, I've been asking around and turns out 7500 isn't the way to go, I'm thinking about the 9000 now, and since I can get it half off, it will be a pretty good deal. But I opened up my comp. last night and saw that I already had a Geforce 2 in my only AGP slot and 2 things in my four PCI...
Should i get PCI, or replace the Geforce 2 and put the new card in the AGP?
And Dunt, how do you turn off your Vsinc?
I never thought buying a video card could be this confusing...

You want to use the AGP slot for certain. I just replaced mt Geforce 2 with that Geforce 4 that i was on about. You don't need your Geforce 2 when you have a new card. The PCI bus is much slower than the AGP bus for things such as graphics cards and newer games such as C&C Generals cannot run on a PCI 3D Accelearator. The Geforce 4 is a cheap but powerful card. I have listed the Geforce 4 cards below so you can understand them better.
GeForce 4 MX 420 (PCI/AGP)
GeForce 4 MX 440 (PCI/AGP)
GeForce 4 MX 460 (PCI/AGP)
GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (AGP 4x)
GeForce 4 Ti 4400 (AGP 4x)
GeForce 4 Ti 4600 (AGP 4x)
GeForce 4 Ti 4800 (AGP 8X)
GeForce 4 Go (laptop)
GeForce 4 Go 4200 (laptop)
