Ok, I am thinking about getting a GeForce 2 MX, there are a lot of brands out there and I'd like some opinions on which one to get. I want a 32MB card, I don't neccesarrily need TV Out, and I only have about $115 to spend. Here's my current system specs:

T-Bird 850 w/FOP32-1
MSI K7T Pro 2-A w/onboard sound
384 MB PC133
IBM 75GXP 45GB
Quantum Fireball AS 20.5 GB
ATI XPert 2000 32MB
TDK VeloCD 12X
Sony 48X CD-ROM
Intel Etherexpress Pro+ 10/100
Inwin Case

I would sugges getting the Radeon DDR LE for about $85 shipped. This card will cream a Geforce MX2. In 3dmark2k, my friend got about 2200 while I got about 3000. Granted, we had different systems, but he had a 950 celeron, and I have a 1050 Duron. But, it will still beat the MX fairly well. This is definitely the choice to make if you have Win98/Me. If you are using Win2K, the Geforce may be a better choice. If you get the Geforce, the evga is not a bad choice. It is very overclockable and cheap (www.allstarshop.com)

Thanks arod324, I do use win2k, but not for gaming or for dvd. I haven't been too thrilled with ATI's driver support in the past, but I will think about maybe getting a radeon. Anyone else have opinions???

Check out the e-vga MX. It's built on a 6 layer pcb and has 5.5 ns memory. Can you say O V E R C L O C K? :)
