Question about T-bird 1.1GHZ and Vid cards

[Nolan75]

I am going to help a friend do some upgrading as a wedding gift. He is currently running an old 200mhz machine, and I am thinking about setting him up with a T-bird 1.1Ghz processor based system. I have a couple of vid cards sitting about to go along with it. One is a GF4 MX 440 SE, and the other is a GF4 TI 4200, both are 64MB cards. My question is whether the TI 4200 would be wasted on the 1.1Ghz or if it would make a big difference over the MX 440.

Thanks,

Nolan

if he's not big into newer games (and anyone with a 200MHz machine wouldn't be), then the Ti is probably a waste, i'd say save a few bucks and go with the MX

I already have the vid cards, so the $ is not an issue. I am also considering building the system on an Athlon XP 1700.
