    I'm choosing between the 8400 and 8600, I don't know if it's worth the extra $100 for me.

    I wont be using Vista, at least not now, but XP Pro and Ubuntu. So I'd like an nvidia card, that's why either 8400 or 8600.

    Where will I see the difference between these two cards and what will the difference be.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Even if you don't game it's worth it if you pick up gaming in the future, or istall vista someday.
