im a little upset to hear u say all this bad stuff about the geforce mx series of graphics cards. im not sure where u get ur information but its untrue. the mx series is the average type graphics card that u can spend say 50 to 100 dollars and get something that can run most everything. being a computer game enthusiast i know much about graphics cards and have used many myself. ive used geforce2mx 200s and 400s and both are very good cards that run smoothly and can display graphics well enough to do most anything. i right now have a geforce4ti 4600 and it shows amazing graphics (most consider it a rip off but i use every aspect of it to its full potential so for me it is not). i have friends who have geforce4mx cards and they have had absolutely no problems with them and tell me that theyre great.

sure, if ur going to do some really really super heavy graphics processing ur going to need a super heavy duty graphics processor such as a geforceti card. this i agree with but for the average user an mx card is way more than necessary. in my house at this very moment i have a server that is using a voodoo3 which is very out dated even more so than the geforce2 line. also might i add that it is running dual xeons. this server works perfectly and is fast (accept for the hdd).

also maybe u could be a little more clear on what u plan on doing with ur computer. do u play games or do any heavy graphics processing or is it just mostly for text editors and web browsing?
