Which would be better overall vid card? Could either be useful for "serious" gaming?

The Radeon 7500! the Mx420 uses SDRAM! Its a card for grannies, better yet it should not be in production!

Radeon 7500 is far better in pretty much every way, including gaming.
The GF4 MX420 performs slightly below the GF2 GTS-V.
Even an underclocked Radeon 7500 at 230/183 is clearly far above that, not to mention being uch better in most other respects.

Both are reasonably capable for basic gaming, but the R7500VE will be a much better gaming solution.

Thank you for the responses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The MX420 uses SDRAM and is only 'slightly' below a Geforce2 GTS-V?

Maybe that should read a Geforce1 DDR.

You'd be surprised just how much the improved memory bus on the GF3/GF4 MX's helps out. Even the GF4 hindered with SDRAM performs surprisingly well, and easily kicks around the old GF2 MX400 with the same theoretical memory bandwidth... and comes out pretty close to the GF2 GTS-V.

SO do you think the GF4 MX420 is a better choice than the VE clocked Radeon 7500??

Rand please ignore the last post I just caught your earlier one. Thanks.
