dude FX is a completely new series

FX is way better than the old

ever heard of hardware rendering with the new fx series ?
i just say 20 times faster !!!

the fx 500 gpu is just a slower clocked version of the 1000 and 2000 fx

ok you don´t have dual DVI - big deal
and you don´t have DDR2 - radeon is faster with ddr1 than geforce with ddr2 - the new geforce even switched to ddr1

overclock that baby (probably add a watercooling for the gpu) and you have a fast little baby

--> you would be a fool to buy the old one
