| 115271 | 2003-01-19 09:46:00 | Hey all, I have an old PC - AMD K6 200 MMX w/ 160MB RAM and a 4MB Rage IIC integerated video card. i am wondering how much of an increase in performance i would get if i purchased the DSE PCI Card Video MX200 32MB from Dick Smith Electronics www.dse.co.nz |

You are better off saving your money and buying a new system. Adding the card may lessen the load off the CPU but you won't see much difference in performance. You can build pretty reasonable machines for under $950 after GST. |
