Anyone read those Tomshardware and some other articles about the gf4 ti4200? It's a real gf4 for under $200=spooge. Dunno what the drawbacks are, I guess I'll wait for things to pan out before I decide what to buy for the pc I will build this summer.

If the 64mb 500mhz RAM Ti4200 really does have an MSRP of $179 it should be $150 on pricewatch within a week or two. That's incredible for what you get. I paid almost twice that for my GF3 just a few months ago. =\

The Ti4400 for ~$240 is pretty good, too.

So, me being the type that upgrades video cards every 2 years ( my last purchase was a 64meg GF2 GTS ) - should I pick up a GF4 ti4400, or just get the 4600? The 4400 looks like it'll stand up for 2 years. I'm starting to feel the age of my GTS though, in games like dungeon siege. 4600 or 4400? ATI is out of the question.

For $234, the 4400 looks really pretty.

ATI has improved enough to the point that I will consider them for my next upgrade if their next high end part is as competitive to nvidia's offering as the r8500 is currently (GF4 aside).
