Which GeForce 2 MX Card should I get?

[RustyTucker]

Elsa, Creative, Leadtek? They all seem to be around $120. Is there a better deal out there? Can I use an MX card for my DVD player?

Or actually, would it be better to get a GeForce 256 DDR? Are the y cheaper?

Thanks.

get ELSA mx from onvia for $95.
mx has some new features that geforce ddr doesn't have.
it's better to get mx over geforce ddr.

I agree with Kingofcomputer, that I would get the MX over the DDR. The DDR is only a little faster at resolutions below 1024 x 768 and it uses a lot more power and runs hotter. I like both of mine, the Creative and the A-open. The A-Open with the SDRAM seems a little bit faster, but that may be due to the faster processor, rather than the card itself. I got my Creative card at Bestbuy for $104 after 20% off coupon, and the A-Open was $109 from mwave.com. Good Luck,

PS, the MX is also at least $20 or so cheaper than the cheapest DDR from a reputable vendor
