I was browsing.. and found a really good deal on Creative 3D Blaster GeForce Pro videocard (based on GF 256) with 32MB ddr memory.. which is lil bit cheaper than GF2 MX200..
I was wondering.. Hm.. is this any good? I do't know much about graphics chip.. which chip would be faster? :) (that didn't sound very intelligent)

GFDDR is faster ... the DDR memory is worth it.. I had one and it ran higher resolutions pretty well.

The GF DDR will cane a regular MX and it'll absolutely destroy an MX200.

Another vote for the GF256 here. It will zoom past the MX200!

However, a word of caution. These first generation GeForce cards consume a lot of power. You need to make sure your PS has plenty of juice and that your case allows good air flow.
