I was telling folks on another forum, when i go out this weekend early next week for shopping, if i see it, i'm buying it. If i dont see it, i will just buy the 6200 or X1300.

But man, that card looks amazing, but very hard to find in the united states

IMO i wouldn't trust it. i checked their website, and it doesn't seem to show an 8500GT PCI. they only have the mx4000, fx5x00, and 6200 cards in PCI bus.

They have it listed now , but i dont belive it work on my computer lolz. Do the lastest win9x forceware driver support 8500's?

And besides, the card is DX10, that wouldnt work on win9x anyway, unless there is a option to switch to directX9.

no, win9x/ME is no longer supported. the 6800GT/Ultra is the highest supported card for win9x/ME. also, there's no support for the 8 series even under win2k_sp4. you NEED winXP for an 8 series card to work.
