Sure, thats a good deal. But if you plan on doing any gaming, i suggest spending the money for a Ti4200, the MX really doesnt perform. If you dont do much gaming, its a great and versitle card, cheap to boot.

That's a great card for the price as long as the price is $40 and the card is the mx440 64mb. Not enough horsepower in that gpu to make a difference on those very few games that like 128mb.

The next one up in frames per dollar is the ATI Radeon 8500le for $70.

Hey Derk,

If your going to play games dont waste your money on that card,It's a souped up geforce 2.I looked at price watch and saw a geforce ti4200 64meg. witch is the higher speed memory compared to the 128meg ti4200.

I have one of these cards PNY GEFORCE 4200TI 64 megs i've yet to see a game i could'nt play yet,very good framerates.
Best card for the dollar i think,just my opinion.

Hope that helped.
have a good one,macdaddy

Thanks for your input! I don't think I will get this card then because I will be playing a lot of games.

... I do not keep potato chips in the house for a similar reason.

Get DDram Video Cards, rather than SDram video cards.

SDram is soooo last century. [ :( ]
DDram is starting to go down. [ :) ]
RDram is gaining popularity. [ :D ]

I don't think there is any rdram cards out yet
