I want to update my old S3 Savage card to better run racing games and run GPL. Whats a decent card in the $100 range or do i have to spend more for better frame rates?..NC Heat & IRL Heat runs ok right now, but I never could run GPL right.. Thanks for any help God Speed Alex...
GF2 MX 400 Best bang for your buck right now IMHO. Might want to wait for the GF3 MX though...

Kirk, Is the MX400 better than the normal MX but less than the GTS? Thanks Ash "Kirk House" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ba57c71$0$3579$[email hidden]...

Yeah, but not a whole lot better than the 200. GF2 GTS' are getting pretty cheap too and have MUCH more memory bandwidth. The MXs have the same T&L hardware though which is nice if your CPU is slow. Ashley McConnell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Wavp7.34354$4j4.171232@NewsReader...

GF2 GTS' are gettingpretty | cheap too and have MUCH more memory bandwidth. Its getting hard to keep up :). There are so many flavours. My brother got his GTS new for �70 and I got my girlfriend an MX for �40, they are really coming down. Now if only they would bring out the G4 so I can buy a G3 :) The MXs have the same T&L | hardware though which is nice if your CPU is slow. | Hmmmmm T&L goodness Ash - investigating T&L in Direct 3d :)

I just want to agree, thats all, the GF2 MX 400 is the way to go for any 3D game these days if you have $100 to spend.
