You're going to struggle to beat the price/performance of a GeForce4 Ti4200 (but get the 128MB version). The GF4MX is actually based on GeForce 2 technology. It's a wretched card. FWIW, I have a GF4 Ti4200. I play a lot of UT2K3, Quake 3, and UT. ...under Linux. I only boot Windows to play GTA2 :-) Peter [link\|http://www.debian.org\|Shill For Hire] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Blog]

You wouldn't know what normal was if it rode into town on the normal express, kicked down your door with its size normal boots, danced into your living room wearing nothing but the word "normal" and sang "normality is here again" on your dining room table whilst dancing the foxtrot.
