Need quick advice, is this a good card

[Paveslave]

nVidia GeForce4 MX440se for a gigabyte GA-6v7XE-A. Will this out perform a Gforce 256 32mb RAM 2x AGP?

It should outpeform a geforce 256, but if you're planning on gaming the gf4 isn't going to be any good..

that card isnt good for gaming at all, whats wrong with the 9700 pro in your sig?

 

[Schadenfroh]

you must be mistaken, there is no competition between a g4mx and a geforce256, the g4mx would abosutely CRUSH a geforce256. a geforce4mx will run all games on the market when paired with a good CPU.

GA-6v7XE-A ? Should be 6VTXE-A?

Could be a good match since that mobo isn't going to be used for Doom3 or HL2.

A GF4Ti4200 is more money and a better match for any gaming at all.

no, it's not a good card but it's better than what you have.

Thanks for the help, I decided to go with a GForce 5200 FX 128 mb for the GA-6VTXE(-A) motherboard. The only problem I have now is I can't seem to get it to run in AGP 4X. The mobo can only support 4X and I have updated the bios with current, and have set it on 4X. I have also loaded updated drivers for the via chipset for the mobo. I did that and then I installed the most current drivers for the Gforce card.
I cannot seem to get the Gforce card to show up as a 4X under display properties, what is my problem? I am at a loss.


P.S.
This is not a replacement for anything in my system, this is for my Bro's computer.
