I'm thinking about buying a new video card, because an ATi Rage Pro TURBO 8MB just isn't doing justice to Counter-Strike.. uh i mean my paper.
Anyway, the best deal now is a GeForce 2 MX (i think) and so i found this on evga.com... is this a good price for it?

PRICE: $129.00 <------ expensive? (reg price 159.99)
They claim (i HATE that word) that the below $100 dollar cards contain bad components, and that their card makes a big difference. Is this true?

And someone posted that when the GF3 comes out... there will be a big drop of GF2 prices? Should I wait?
