EDIT: Already decided.


MSI 8826 GeForce2 MX400 w/ TV-Out or GeForce2 MX400 64MB w/ TV-Out ?

I am ordering some other stuff from this company and I want to get a 64mb. card while I am ordering. I am not familiar enough with video card specs to intelligently choose but I know some of you guys are, so, opinions appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

Are you sure you want a GF2? What's your budget?

 

[Jeffwo]

This ($65.00) is all I need to spend right now and considering I am running a 32mb. M64
it'll be a step up for me. Not a real gamer anyway.

if you dont game, have you thought about getting a matrox or a low end ATI card? The 2d quality on that gf2 will be horrible

i would get the x-tacy.... just because i think they have better cards...
i dont like mobo manufacturers making my video products....

I don't agree. I don't see any difference between the GF2 2D and a Radeon. Many say the Radeon's 2D is better, but I don't see it. ATI also has problems with drivers. Of those two cards I'd go with MSI. They're known to make decent video cards at low prices.

Anybody else? Has anyone used either of these 2? I have got to get this order in the mail...not interested in shopping for other brands.

If you dont game then get a Matrox or an ATi card. I can see the difference in 2D quality.

Theres nothing wrong with gaming with ATi cards anyway!

Well, I wouldn't get an MX at all if I were you. If I were to choose one of those, I would get the GeForce2 MX400 64MB - but that's because I'm a gamer.
