With the GForce 3 getting ready to hit the street this may be a lousy time to buy any video card. Prices of whatever you are looking at now are almost certain to drop. "Karl Zosel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9nrq6.12214$[email hidden]... > Is it worth the extra cash?? > > >
Go with the Geforce MX. I did and I haven't regretted it one bit. I have a friend who bought a GTS and had a lot of configuration problems with it and his AMD Thunderbird. Finally gave up and went with an MX and has had no problems. BTW, I picked up a CardEx MX for $84 through mail order. You can't hardly beat the performance for the price.

I'd def be thinking about a GTS rather than an MX. With the G3 prices of existing cards will come down, you could get a good deal. NG "Karl Zosel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9nrq6.12214$[email hidden]... > Is it worth the extra cash?? > >
If you can afford the GTS then you should get it. "Karl Zosel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9nrq6.12214$[email hidden]... > Is it worth the extra cash?? > >

I just replace my Hercules MX w/ a Hercules GTS Pro and am in love with my PC again (Athlon 700, 256MB RAM). N4 looks great and runs so smooth (when it is not crashing or freezing! Aargh!) in D3D in 32-bit color. Am going to try and see if it will run in OpenGL in 16-bit. -pw
Go take a look at www.tomshardware.com , they have a good comparison there between all the Geforce 2 cards (MX, GTS, Ultra etc), and from what I read the GTS would definately show a noticeable difference over the MX in a P3 900 so pay the extra $$$ if you can afford it.
