I'm an Nvidia guy so i'll have to go with the GF. But since the MX series is a crap card, go with the ATi. Just remember, you're going to have alot of problems with the drivers so i hope you have ALOT of patience. But if i was you, i'd go for a GF3 Ti200 or 500. It's within your budget and get rid of that MX junk.



And for the record, i still go with Nvidia !

Niether, just save another 70 dollars, and buy a GAINWARD/CARDEXPERT GeForce 3 Ti200 128MB (NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200 GPU), Power Pack Golden Sample, ( 4ns 128MB DDR. ). Overclocking enhanced performance mode. TV-Out. :rolleyes:
...or do whatever you want to do?
get it up, get it in, get it out, and don't mess up my hair!

hey, that's what I said too!
(plus, it's probably the smartest thing you can do. I've run a gf3 ti200 and they are beautiful.)
