i was looking around in Fry's Electronics and i saw a graphics card for only 50 bucks. i think it was a geforce mx 4000 by "PNY Technologies" if i am correct i thougt geforc belonged to nvidia. but anyways would that be a good graphics card for the money. i plan on playing battlefield 2 and games with those types of system requirements. and if it is not a good chip,would it be good if i overclocked it to be almost as good as the 6800 GT Card. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hp Pavillion a1010n Intel Celeron 2.93 GHz 160 Gb Hard Drive 512 pc3200 Mb of Ram 64 Mb Graphics Chip Windows Xp Home Edition

The MX4000 is a low end piece of crap...don't even consider it. You have 2 things going against you...you have an HP, & you have a Celeron...not a good combination for gaming. Before doing anything, find out if you have an AGP slot available for your video upgrade. If your system only has PCI slots, your choices are very limited, they're expensive, & none of them are very good. If you have an AGP slot, I suggest a Radeon 9600XT 128MB...very good price/performance ratio. Your Celeron can't handle a high end video card.

All the Geforce 4000MX card is good for is for anything but games, so there is your answer. I mean yeah the Geforce 4000MX chip would have been top of the line say in 2001, but compared to todays standards it's usless for anything other then interent use and a few basic graphic programs.

far aas pci cards go... they make alot of themand u CAN find them worth the money. 1 of my older pc's doesnt have a agp slot so its pci or onboard. i just got a 128mb fx 5200 for it. and 1 of my kids play games on it all the time. i did find a 256mb card for about 12 bucks more after i already got the fx card. but if u have agp use that!! i run a 6600GT on the pc i game on and it runs everything on high settings

Your gonna need more than a new video card to play bf 2. What you need is at least 512mb more ram and a new cpu. I would recommend that you keep your ram and buy a new motherboard that supports amd atlon 64's and get yourself a radeon x700 pro or something like that. Then buy either a amd 64 3200+ or 3400+. This stuff will be about 400 big ones. But bf2 comes at a high price.
