It'd be faster, but not by all that much, and I don't think you'd get any
extra features either. If you could stretch to a Gf4 4200 (ie not an MX)
you'd have something that would probably be better in your current system,
and a whole lot better when you get your new one.

You might then be able to put off buying the 9700 for a few months & instead
get the next big thing after that.

The GF4 MX cards are ***and not much of an upgrade over a GF2. You
would be better off with a GF3 Ti card.

Based on your system specs, IMO, a GF4MX will gain you nothing except that hassle of installing a
new vid card.

No, MX4 is just slightly faster MX2.

Judge for yourself.....

For just a little more money you can get an ATI R8500 or R9000, both
being DX8 cards, or a GF3Ti200 if you'd rather stay with nVidia, of
course, if that GF4MX is yours for next to nothing, it's a fair bit
quicker than a GF2MX

Depending on your cpu, you would probably gain more from upgrading to a
GeForce 3 Ti200 or GeForce4 Ti4200.
