    Oh geez, we've been through this. The GDDR3 version of the ATI performs the same as the DDR2 version of the 8600 GT. so if you get a GDDR3 version of the 8600GT then that one. but otherwise, neither

    It's about the same, DDR2 ATI is as fast as a DDR2 Nvidia. Search the forum, there's tons of info about it already.
