I have been noticing many threads about this card and I was thinking that we should centralize all the talk about the card here so that people do not have to go searching throughout the forum for a post.
Anyway, I am really really considering getting the MSI Ti4400 version, but I wanted to make sure that this card is as good as it sounds. I have been hearing about image quality and I want to make sure that is good as I am coming from a Radeon card which is supposed to have very good image quality.
Also, I wanted to make sure it is worth it for my system as it is not the newest most powerful machine. It is a 1.1GHz Athlon T-bird, 256MB Samsung PC100 memory, 20GB ATA33 hard drive, ATI Radeon 32MB DDR, SB Audigy Gamer. Please tell me what you guys think, if everything is good, then I will order the card probably this weekend.
Thank you in advance!

. I have a celery 1.2a and it works fine with it(although I do know that the celery is a bottleneck for this card) Image quality is as good as the radeon 8500 which I had before the gf4. I get 8350 3d2001se marks and I can play any game I want without stutters (although I haven't tried morrowind or gta3) the video capture works flawlessly as does tvout. The only thing I would say is that tvout is more confusing with the gf4 than the radeon 8500 imo. I have had trouble figuring out how to get clone mode on tvout. But all in all I love this card. I've read alot about how loud the fan is supposed to be but compared to my powersupply fan it isn't noisy at all. I bought a 400w powersupply and it's louder than the gf4 fan. A great card. Some might say that MSI has been sending out defective cards (i read about some guy buying a visiontek card and getting abum one and a gainward one and getting a bum one etc.)but I would hardly say that they are the majority only the loudest voices. Go for it..the software bundle is excellent as the quality of the componets. They do use the phillips 108e tvout chip so you will be limited to 800x600 resolution on the tvout but you get video input as well.
