Top, be worth the extra cash in the long run, also extends the time before you need to upgrade.

No huge difference right now.

IMO, wait a few months. let em come down in price, read reviews on the both of em.

THEN decide.

From just the spam you copied off the box, the bottom one seems more cost efficient.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

That would require patience, something that, when it comes to computer components, I am sadly lacking.

I bought the 4600 version, it's worth every penny to me, heh..

To quote the box: Now this is what we call bowel-loosening frame rates.

Hooking your computer to a 42 inch flat screen TV is fun, too.

I'd get the 4400, just because I don't have the extra hundred bucks to throw around.

Well, if you're tight on cash, see if the 4400 has the Video-in / Video-out cable.

HDTV + Tribes 2 =

The model I'm looking at does, but that doesn't matter much since I have no HDTV, and that'd set me back, what? $2000 at least? heh.

you could still plug it into a TV, provided it has one of them S-Video connectors on it. And if ya cant run on a 40 inch TV, a 27 would still be nice!

Get the 4400, theres absolutly no noticable performance difference right now. Games just arent designed to use those top end features.

Later down the road it maybe a little more noticable though. not worth the extra $100 IMHO.
