I own 2 video cards, but their specs are so similar that I don't know which one to use (and I consider myself good with computers). They are the GeForce 4 MX 420 64MB DDR and the GeForce 2 Ultra 64MB DDR. I have the latest nVidia refrence drivers. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!

I read a good article about the basic history of video cards the other day, and they did mention that while the GF4 MX was just a basic lower end card it did perform better than the previously successful GF2 Ultra.

It wouldnt be by much though, anyway if its not for gaming then why worry about it?

If u really want to know d/l and run 3dMark2001 with each card in the computer and see what difference in scores you get...
