decisions.....need advice.

a few days ago, i went and made a stupid mistake in the world of PC hardware. i bought something before looking up on it.

what i bought was an ati radeon ve. now, i knew the radeon line had gotten good reviews....and that 32mb ddr memory looked nice, as did the dual display support. price was good, so i got it.

slapped it in, wasnt impressed by the 3d performance. so i look it up....and i find the ve is basically a very crippled radeon...doesnt even have t&l.

now, assuming i can return this without a hitch.....what should i get to replace it?

namely, im looking at the visiontech geforce 2 mx400....and the ati radeon SDR. both are the same price, both have 64mbs ram.....what would be the winner?

[Zuck Gou :)]

Neither.

The 32mb DDR will whoop em both.

Or if your wanting to save some cash get the LE and overclock it and do the reg hack so you'll have a regular 32mb DDR.

The Reg hack is extrememly easy, especially if you wana use a program.

Radeon Tweaker is a good one, tweakfiles is gone, so go onto Pinkys server I think he has it.

well...the thing is, i really need tv out. the 32mb DDR doesnt have that(at least not to my knowledge). im using readon tweaker now with this card....it helps, but i still want something better.

if the LE had a tv out id go for it....but im leaning towards the geforce 2 MX400 right now. thats gotta be better than the radeon ve right? at least it has t&l, plus 2 rendering pipelines.....twice as much ram as this ve has too.
