5200 u or a 4200

[valkyr]

hi,
since i live in a HELL - HOLE

according to my budget the choice is limited to a
a)Digicolor ti 4200 [128 mb]
b)Xfx 5200 u

and the catch is that 5200 u is for 90 $
where as a ti 4200 is for 160 $

well ill be needing the card for rougly 5-7 months only,
i am seriously confused........waht should i go for?

This is a tough one because of the cost differential.

Is the 4200Ti worth the $70 premium for a measly 5-7 month gaming stint?

My gut instict is no.

My other gut instinct is to suggest you buy a 9600PRO from an online store that doesn't care where you live.

Look for a 9600Pro for $160.
