Ahh, sorry. I dont keep up with prices unless I am actually getting one myself. Prices change all the time. Jeff makes a good point, I think the MX is a cheaper version compared to the GTS 2. HEY, did you notice it was a "GTS" ??
The GTS card pcb is RED, and the MX card pcb is BLUE !! And the GTS RED card is FASTER !!!! -----Original Message----- From: Boman, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 5:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Need Help with Computer Issue FLUFF Jon, Whoa....back the train up! Go to www.pricewatch.com or www.shopper.com for the best prices on the video cards. The Leadtek Geforce 2GTS (not the MX version) list for $120 with 32 MB and the Asus 7700 lists for $121.00. Mail order is the way to go; there are many mailorder houses that sell the retail box as well as the whitebox. You just have to watch out for the ones that make profit on the shipping.

However, this is like $300 and up. Second best would be something based on the Geforce 2 GTS, either in 32mb or 64mb flavor. The Geforce 2 GTS with 64mb should be about $200 to $250, although maybe as low at $150. Spending the money on the graphics card will actually save them money on the rest of the PC, because a good card takes on much of the processing power that the CPU would normally do (even using Direct 3d). This Nvidia does not make the cards, rather they make the chipsets/graphics processing units (GPU) and other makers build the cards using those chipsets and reference designs. So look for something based on the Nvidia Geforce 2 GTS. They can be found under almost all brands except those that use captive GPU's like ATI. The ASUS 7700 is sort of a generic brand card based on that chipset, available in 32 and 64mb flavors. -----Original Message----- From: Henry S.

I have a young client who runs Win98SE. He wants a better video card--has to be AGP and be Dierect3D and Glide3D compatible. His computer is only about a year old. I believe it is an Intel P3/667 with 128 MB RAM. Any suggestions? (His parents would like less expensive rather than more expensive.) Also, how do gamers keep their machines from becoming corrupted...to the point of wiping the HD and re-installing everything...or do they simply wipe & reinstall at a scheduled time? Feel free to take this off list if you'd like. Many thanks, & Regards, Henry S.
