Can 8500s be used in Macs? I have 50ns RAM so 200 would be the suggested max, though I am happily at 215. Do 8500s cost much more than my 9200? If I could sell my card and buy an 8500 for the same price, Id do it. Whats the GPU speed in an 8500? This info is not on ATIs site. I paid $130 for my card a year ago and assume it is still worth about $100, though I really havent checked.
