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?
