Might be a little high (+ $100 or so) but that is going off seperate prices and building it yourself so if it’s pre built it’s probably an ok price. What will this machine be used for? I typically wouldn’t reccomend a geforce anything MX, I would go with the cheapest TI model but if you aren’t going to play games on it the MX should work fine. The AMD 2400 is supposed to be equivilant to the processing power of an Intel 2.4 ghz.

:o

what would you recommend me, besides that geforce? i will play games, warcraft iii and such…

and mainly im gonna use it for work, web design, graphic 3d design, etc…

you think is a good one?

I’d reccomend a geforce 4 ti4200 64mb, I just don’t think the the MX cards are very good. However the Geforce 4 MX will probably do a decent job on most games, you may notice some slow down on games with a lot of detail.

Thanks!

well yep. im gonna, its way way more cheap than a pentium one

Thanks for the help :smiley:

I have to disagree with the whole “MX” thing

I have Gforce 2 64meg mx400 and it works great!

There isnt a game I cannot play and I play lots of new ones. I am really starting to see it’s age now though - but if I dont have everything running in high 1024 rez I am just fine

But I will agree that the Ti cards are Fantastic :slight_smile: I want a new 128 geforce 4, but I doubt it’s gonna happen anytime soon :slight_smile:

Yeah, I should mention I like to run everything at max detail at 1024x768 or 1280x1024, it all depends on what you want out of the card and the detail in your games. The MX cards are by no means crappy, they just don’t compare to the ti cards.

well im graphic designer and i like to work in enviroments like 1600x1200, sometimes 1280x1024 you think the card can handle very well that?

thanks.

For graphics design and things like that the card will work fine, the only problems you could run into is on games at high resolution with a lot of detail you may get a noticeable framerate drop. As far as graphic design and things like that framerate isn’t real important. And keep in mind you can always upgrade your video card later if the one you have is no longer able to handle the current software you are running.
