| 192254 | 2003-11-15 21:18:00 | Ummm well you should be able to get a GeForce4 MX440 64MB DDR SDRAM, for about $129, depending where you buying it from but it would be able to run most of the recent games available. cheers chiefnz |

| 192255 | 2003-11-15 23:26:00 | thanks how do the radeon's compare against the Geforces? i.e is it worth spending another $40 for a 128MB 9200 radeon Cheers |

| 192256 | 2003-11-15 23:31:00 | Is that PCI? That price looks comparatively like AGP Pricing to me (Or do Radeon not differentiate much between pricing for AGP and PCI Graphics Cards?) If it IS a PCI card, and it'll work on your system, then yeah, I'd say its worth it :-) |

| 192257 | 2003-11-15 23:38:00 | well according to pricespy anyway it is the correct'ish' figure | XOtagoScarfie (1619) | ||
| 192258 | 2003-11-15 23:40:00 | ummm what do you mean 'and it'll work on your system'? as I'm not that knowledgeable in this department. Are there other things I'm forgetting to consider? Cheers |

| 192260 | 2003-11-16 07:12:00 | if you can find a PCI Radeon 9200 or Geforce FX5200 that fits ur budget buy it, either will be better than a GF4MX. Im sure u could pick up a second hand SKt A motherboard off trade me or out of the trade & exchange for under $100 and then get a cheap AGP card. It would offer better preformance and future upgradability. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 192261 | 2003-11-16 07:40:00 | Agreed Pete! And by that comment, I wasnt sure if they actually made raedon 9200's in PCI... :-) |
