New Video Card Possibility

[cp900]

I am currently running a GeForce 4 MX 440 64 MB in my comp and I am always looking out for good deals, so I was surfing around a bit and saw this...

Its much better than my current card and at 75 bucks, seems like a pretty good deal. I wanted to get other people's opinions before I go for it. Comments? Questions?

Thanks...

Yes that card is a pretty substantial power increase from your current card. We sell quite a few of them at the store where I work. I am personally partial to Nvidia but you should be quite happy with that card. Just make sure that your motherboard does not have a Nforce 2 chipset because Radeon 9600's and Nforce 2 chipsets do not always agree very well.

for a hundred dollars more you could effectively get double the card. 9800pro 128meg

I have about 100 - 110 bucks to spend on this total (including shipping), and I also just ran across this....

Never heard of that card. Sounds like a overclocked 5200 though so I wouldn't touch it..

I also forgot to mention that this card would be for my secondary machine - word processing, a little warcraft III occasionally and surfing. I am gonna get a high end care in the next couple of months, so I'm just trying to move this one up a notch so its somewhat usable.

Currently it has the following....

AMD Athlon XP 1800+
768 MB PC3200
Geforce 4 MX 440

I would look for possibly a 9600 Pro, as they can be found for less than 120 right now and provide pretty good performance.
