RE: G4 Help
For the price of the 8500 there, you can pick up a much better one at newegg.com

However with the nvidia card, the second number e.g. x500 versus x600 determines the chipset used.
The higher the better.
But I would strongly suggest you spend a little more and get say an 8800GT

Which works out to only $159.00 with rebate for great performance and DX10 compatibility.
