GeForce4 MX 440

Fill Rate: 1.1 Billion Texels/Sec.
Triangles per Second: 34 Million
Memory Bandwidth: 6.4GB/Sec.
Maximum Memory: 64MB


GeForce4 MX 440-SE
Fill Rate: 1 Billion Texels/Sec.
Triangles per Second: 31 Million
Memory Bandwidth: 5.3GB/Sec.

Will you be doing heavy gaming? If so i suggest not to get the MX cards.

YOUCH! Holly gpu bottle neck batman! Could get more muscle outta 6.4GB/sec bandwidth then that. Buts its gpu crippled majorly.

SE are basically stripped down and are the "runts"

As are the MX series of cards. There ok for gaming but dont expect them to perform like champs. I would suggest getting a Ti series as those are the high performance of the GF4 line. Trust me I went from a MX 420 to a Ti 4200 and what a difference in performance not even close.

im waiting for halflife 2 but i dont have the dough for the hardware.

radeons cost much more here and i dont trust geforce fx's.

would mx cards be right for the time right now? or should i wait for better cards?

5900 non ultra. IF you dont want ati that is. MX's are majorly slow, dont even consider it for Halflife 2 or any semi demanding game. Just be a slide show or you will have to crank graphics so low it looks like a OLD game which always sucks.

i'd say save up the money for Ati's radeon 9600xt which is 189 on newegg. you get a voucher for half life 2 so just consider 189-~50(for half life 2)=139

Yep Id go for 9600pro (sub $200) or 9800 non pro non se its about $240 ish. But man is it fast! I LOVE mine.
