Or try the radeon 32 meg ddr le at newegg or z-buy for less than $100. Its onlt clocked at 148 but mine has been running at 166 for days now. http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/vidcards/ati/radeon/
check out this review. It is the regular radeon 32 ddr but they underclock it to 148 for comparison. It is about equal to the geforce 2 32 ddr. Not the mx. Lot of card for little money.

Go for the Gforce over The Ati.
There are many Hardware review sites that show the gforce as being superior.
The raedon isn't bad but just not quite as good

I advise u to get elsa erazor x 32mb with ddr ram. That video card works very well especially with q3 and half life

If it were a choice of a gforce2 (not mx) or the radeon I would agree. But he looks like he is trying to get out for less than $100. That excludes the gforce2 32 ddr. It includes the gforce2 mx which really doesn't perform near the radeon 32 ddr. So I still say get the radeon when priced against the gforce2 mx. If you spring for $150 or above then consider the gforce2 32ddr. Or decide if it is worth $60 for slightly better performance. Seems like a no brainer to me.

gforce2 mx = good performance $83 +$9 shipping
radeon 32ddr = better performance somewhat below or at a gforce 2 32 ddr level for the same price as a gforce2 mx. About $87 shipped.
gforce2 32ddr = better performance but $162 = $8 shipping for small performance increase.

Just doing a simple pricewatch search. HTH And feel free to disagree.
Recent article with gforce2 32ddr and radeon 32 ddr comparison.

A pretty well known site too.

I would advise the Geforce as well. In my LAN i've got too similar comps, one with a 32MB MX and one with a 32MB DDR Radeon, and the MX is a little faster but the Radeon's visual quality is stunning. For my personal gaming rig I use a GeForce 2 GTS Ultra 64mb, so you can see I prefer speed over quality. IT's really up to you.
