My wife's computer is a Micron MAX GS133 with 128MB 133MHz SDRAM-2DIMMS. I has a nVidea 32MB TNT Pro AGP graphics card. I happen to have a new ASUS AGP-V7700 32MB graphics card that I don't need. Would there be any upgrade benifit to swap the AGP-V7700 card and the nVidea card?

The v7700 is a TNT2, right? You might notice a little difference, but only in games. Also, if one board has DDR memory, I'd use that one.

I think the V7700 is a GeForce 2 GTS card, in which case you would notice a difference in 3D applications if you replaced that TNT Pro card with it.

Oh, if that's the case, then stick that bad boy in the system! GTS's are great!

The V7700 is a Geforce2 GTS card....so I'd swap it out since you have it. No point in letting a geforce2 card go to waste.

The Asus V7100 is a GeForce2 MX and the Asus v7700 is a GeForce2 GTS. The GeForce2 GTS'll blow the socks off that old TNT2 PRO. Throw it in there...QUICKLY!!!

Keep the TNT Pro. Send me the V7700 quickly! ;)

Aside from that, the Asus V7700 (GF2 GTS) is two (2) generations faster than the TNT. There will be a definite speed increase if your wife plays any games :).
