Question

[Kenshinn]

Okay.. Heres my computer:
KT7A motherboard
576MB SDRAM
1.2ghz AMD Duron
32MB TNT2 nvidia video card

Someone asked this question
What will be better for games such as warcraft III, which runs terrible on my computer, a new video card or a new processor.

These are the video cards I'm looking at... soley for the price:
geforce 2 MX400 128MB -> $50
geforce 4 MX440 64MB -> $48

what would be better? Thanks

Welcome to Anandtech forums!

If you're on a budget I'd get the GeForce4-MX440 which is really a supercharged GeForce2-MX400 and alot faster. Remember, though, the GeForce4-MX4xx has no vertex or pixel shaders so it's only good if you're only a casual gamer and don't play on-line.

Nah man the GF4MX are more like GF2++ while the GF2MX is like GF2--. Anyways, go with the GeForce 4 MX stuff, just make sure it uses DDR.
