What's the main difference between the geforce4 Ti4800 & the 4600 besides
price? I tried doing a google search for a review of the 4800 & they didn't
have one.

Thanks

The 4800 is a 4400 8X AGP part

not entirely true !
TI4800SE is a 4400 8x agp (note the SE)
TI4800 is the fastest version of geforce4 and almost impossible to find
anywhere.
TI4600 is faster than a ti4800se and some of the gf5 (5200, 5600)
gf5 5800 gets very hot and can make alot of noise
gf5 5900 (ultra) if u want the fastest

otherwise Ati radeon 9700 pro and 9800 pro, and 9600 pro (if on budget) are
actually superperformers and here in denmark a bit cheaper than the nvidia
models

Nothing. The 4800 supports AGP 8X, but this doesn't affect performance.

Thanks for the replies. I was going to buy a Ti4600 & priced them at

pricewatch.com & saw the Geforce4 Ti4800 x8 AGP was $205 & the 4800 only
$138. Looks like the 4800 would be the better buy.

(A typo, should have said Geforce4 Ti4600 x8 AGP was $205.)

wrong...the ti4800 is clocked higher than the 4600 i dont remember if it
supports agp 8x
the 4800SE again look i write _SE_ this is just a 4400 with agp8x and is
therefore slower than the 4600

the gforce4 series doesnt need agp8x anyway...read all the test they all
state the same....agp4x is enought for the geforce4 series....how this holds
up with the gf5 series i dunno, but their performance seem really low except
for the 5800 (ultra)and 5900 (ultra)

if u wanne get a cheap card super fast card ...look for a gf5 5800 ex asus
v9900 ...beware of the noice this hairdryer makes :-)

Incorrect. They're the same card, but the 4800 has AGP 8X support.
The clock-rates are decided by the manufacturer of the card, and are based
on the speed of the memory they choose.

Eh ?
TI4800SE is a completely different card to the TI4800 !

TI4800 = TI4600
TI4800SE = TI4400
the gforce4 series doesnt need agp8x anyway...read all the test they all
state the same....agp4x is enought for the geforce4 series....how this holds

No cards need AGP 8X - it's not a performance enhancer.

The GF4 Ti4800 (without the SE) is a nice card. The one with the SE
(Slow Edition) is rather poor and you will find a GF4 Ti4600 is faster
than the GF4 Ti4800SE. In short, if you want a GF4, buy the Ti4800
(without the SE) or get a Ti4600.

The best reviews I've read on any of these, performance/cost ratio-wise
(value, IOW), is the Ti4200 AGP8x. A very solid performer, for not too much
$$$. If I recall the only downside is the lack of DX9.0 compliance. It may
sorta 'go out of style' in the not too distant future, but I bet you'll be
very happy with it for quite some time ...

Here's a couple good articles at Toms regarding some of the current video
cards. After much research (esp. into my budget) I opted for the Radeon
9500 Pro. The 9700's are definitely worth a look as well.

Once I got this ASUS a7n8x and some kick-ass memory, the 9500 Pro is singing
like a bird (an older Mobo (msi k7dmaster) with cheap memory was NOT
HAPPENING) these days. My (highly subjective) feeling is that the Nvidia
cards are a bit more forgiving in this department, so if all you can afford
is vid card and don't have new, higher end components to go with it, I'd
probably be thinking Nvidia. Just my $.02...
