This guy, happens to find 2 NVidia cards equipped with 166MHz DDR, while the ATI card running 200MHz DDR memory. There are also happened to be in the same "price" range, so there goes your comparison.

Damn it, my 4 year old daughter has got a GF4 ti4400 and that's the lowest end rig in the house! (My 7 year old son got the 5900 since I hated it so, I gave his GF4 to his sis....everyone is happy. :) ) If'n you love your children, do NOT get them a low-end card! :shock:

well the ATi card is the cheapest and also happens to be the best. its a perfectly valdid "value for money" comparison.

The price thing is, well, kind of arbitrary... shop around and anyone can see the same product often "priced" differently. Like a GeForce 5700, same brand, same model number, one price is 119 USD, the other price is 179 USD.
