Yes, lacking the agp i will go for the 4. i did see the specs and
tests and do know it is coming in at just around the top end of the 2
in performance. since the prices are close, the 4 is good. it is a
little cheesy for them to market this way, but when have they been
any different?

the Ti 4400 and Ti 4600, which cost about $300 and $400,
respectively. It's a marketing gimmick and somewhat underhanded, in
my opinion.

(I am running a GeForce 2 Ultra and it works just fine with EQ), they
are just deceptively named.
