Hey all --
got 2 machines I'm trying to upgrade. Looking for a fps boost in games -- everything else runs fine.
The p3-1ghz machine has a gforce2pro 64mb card ( and runs my fps well ) and my ancient celeron 400mhz machine has a TNT2Ultra card
So I threw the gforce2pro card into the celeron 400mhz machine to see what would happen, and it actually helped out a lot in games like Q3UT and others.
So to the experts out there: If I was only going to upgrade the grafx card, whats the best one for each of these machine. Should I put the gofrce2pro into the 400 celeron and get a gforce3 ti 200 for the p3-1ghz. Or go even cheaper and leave the gforce2 in the p3-1ghz and look for a gforce2MX400 for the 400 celeron as a stop gap short-term solution.
I'm thinking the gforce2pro is overkill for the celeron where the bottlneck is probably the cpu, right ? And I'm not sure a gofroce3 would be taken advantage of in a p3-1ghz machine.
any info/links to the info are appreciated.
Trying to do a cheap upgrade and will probably build a new rig in about 6 months to replace the celeron 400.
thanks!
