I thought the 4200 was a 8X AGP 64mb chip? atleast nvidia lists it that way, but the Dell website lists it at 4x. If it is indeed a 8x, sign me up! | |

The Geforce4 4200 go and quadro4 700 go gl both score in the 9000+ range in 3dmark 2001 depending on the settings.
Oh and the quadro4 700 go gl does fit in the inspiron 8200 unlike the 4200.
