GeForce2/GTS or GeForceDDR

[Stout]

Putting together a few sistems for Mom and a nephew out of a lot of old crap here. Have over 15 modems, vid cards, NIC's, etc... JUNK!... (as I used to build a PC every few months but stopped years ago). So here's the question...

What's newer/better? A GeForce2/GTS or a DDR... Markings on the cards are fairly similar and NO clue on the manufacturer...

Any sites out there that might give me a clue? Want to setup nephew w/ the best card for some gaming, and Mom won't game much Just internet, word, email crap.

Tks a lot all...

GeForce 2 came after and is thus better than the DDR. Should get ~30% improvement in performance IIRC.

geforce2gts definitely..
They're pretty close, just the GTS has two TMUs instead of one, and is clocked higher.
DefRef is right about the performance differences.

I had a GF2 Ti for awhile and my parents still have a DDR. Let me just say the Ti kicked the crap out of the DDR in performance.

Ohhh yea! I could actually use a 9700p for my girlfriend's brother. Hes always watching me play games with his jaw practically on the ground. Poor kid doesnt have a good computer and his mom is only paying $500 for me to build him one including a monitor. You can see the delema...
