Well, I have not posted in months and used to a lot when I was in my upgrade phase. Well that kind fizzled out because of some problems. I bought a Ti4400 that was great but rebooted my PC because my PSU was only a 300w. I was going to get a 400w and keep upgrading but them my motherboard started acting up. So I just gave up on everything and bought an Xbox and Xbox Live. Enough history.

Well, I still have my Voodoo5 and can't use it effectively with Age of Mythology or at all with Windows XP and America's Army so I want to get a low end card. ANANDAUSTIN suggested I get a low end card(Ti200) with my Athlon 700 and that was probably a good idea. By the way, Austin, you still around??? :)

Question: The Ti200 is more expensive then the low end GF4s. Why? What should I get? I don't really know the differences between the low end GF4s (420, 440 64and128, 460). I would like to sell my Voodoo5 and get a low end card so I need help. Thanks

The GF4s you mention are MX models. They are jumped-up GF2s in reality, and are low-end cards. That's why a GF3 is more expensive.

Genuine GF4s are 4200, 4400, 4600. 4 digits for real GF4s.

What is your budget like?

Yeah, I pretty much was thinking that. I was wondering if the GF4 Mx models were better than Ti200s? or close?

I want to spend about $70 or less.
