Graphics card dilemma...

[mamasmurf]

Hi guys,

I need a graphics card to replace my 4MB SiS 6326 card .

I do some gaming now and then but want to catch up by being able to play an occasional bout of the latest games at good framerates. I also watch a lot of DVDs.

What's with the Radeon 9000, 9000 Pro, GeForce 4MX, etc..
Also what brands should I go for?

Give options that can last me sometime!!!

how much money are you willing to spend on the video card upgrade?

 

[mamasmurf]

Around 60 - 70 $ !!

you may find a good deal ona radeon 9000, or ever a radeon 7500. both which support very good dvd playback

With the Radeon 8500's really being phased out you might be able to find a super deal on one - if not, a 9000PRO would be good.
(9000 non-pro is cheaper but about 30% slower - beware!) I'd take the above over a GF4MX any day- not to say that if I had an unbeatable deal on a GF4MX I wouldn't be happy.
