It's not so important an 8500 vs 9000 vs 9200 vs 9250, there are not important differences ... I have also a 8500 and 9000 (64Mb vram) ; for exemple I prefer to use the 9200 or 9250 with 128mb (or 256 when It' ll be possibile to address).

My idea is It's more important to find/buy at the moment an ATI Radeon 9800 XT/Pro, 9700, 9600, waiting for the full 2D support and 3D driver.
