<div>Crap, that's a typo on my part. I meant I had bought and will return an 8400GS not 8500GS. But it sounds like the 9500GT is going to be as good or better than the 8600 for everything except memory bandwidth. If memory bandwidth isn't an issue than the 9500GT should be quite a bit better than the 8600, isn't that right?</div>
