bottleneck on GeForce 2 MX200's

[Battousai1]

whats with the GF2 MX200? people say this is the crappiest card nvidia ever made on the MX line right? also in my own experience when using high resolution settings i.e. higher than 800 X 600 graphic speed becomes choppy, but the question is what makes the GF2 MX200 a crap card? is it beacuse of the GPU? the speed? btw is the GPU of the MX200's different from any GF2's? I read that MX200's has lower clock frequencies compared to MX400's, will overclocking do some performance boost up? and would it be safe using "Coolbits"?

The bottleneck is the 64-bit memory it has like that of the TNT2 M64.

Yes you can overlock it using coolbits, just don't push "Core Clock" (you won't see any improvement), but rather overclock
"Memory clock". Test using some game, if you pushed it too far you'll notice some random points.
There is nice utility too check maximum overclock cards memory can stand : TestVRam(http://testvram.nm.ru).

64 bit memory bus? how about the GPU? is the GPU different from any GeForce 2 cards?

AFAIK, it's not.

Yes, there is a difference in chipset architecture. The GTS/Pro/Ultra has 4 pixel pipelines, the MX only has 2.

64bit SDR = ugh.
