Erm... Ti 4200s are about $90 ($120 for the 128 meg models). Radeon 9700s are about $230. Am I missing something? If you're getting a GF4 Ti, though, I'd go with the Radeon 9500 Pro. It beats the GF4 Ti in every benchmark I've seen...

Only benefites of the GF4 Ti series vs the equivalent Radeons are cheapness and MUCH better drivers in all OS's.
