<< I'd say the GTS. >>



I'd have to second that. More ram can only do so much for a card

GF2 GTS is clearly the more powerful card. Having more then 32MB of RAM isnt terribly beneficial in most cases right now unless your playing in 1600x1200x32bpp or using 4X FSAA at high res/color depth, so the extra RAM on the MX doesnt provide it too much of a benefit. And besides that, the MX simply doesnt have the power to run at reasonable frame rates in resolutions in which you might see any gain from the extra memory anyway.
And undeniably the GTS is simply a far more powerful card.

Sure..the G2 GTS has faster memory, and a non-crippled pipeline. You will be able to get a LOT more fps out of the GTS. In fact, I own a GTS-V (Visiontek) and it will stomp a MX400 into the ground.

Ti 450? that must be one card maker's gimmick name.
GF2 Ti whatever is still a GF2.
get the Visiontek GF3 Ti200 this fri at bestbuy for $100 after rebate,
even a regular GF3 or Ti200 is at around $170 online price, $200 local retail stores now, the price will go down eventually, that makes those $100+ GF2 whatever not a good buy, that also makes those $70-100 MX400 be a joke.
except the $70 GTS-V is ok to consider if you're just occassional gamer.
