which one should i get ?

[hmmm]

i have voodoo banshee and i can only play games (usually) at 640*480 and its slow anyway so i am gonna get geforce 2 mx....i will get either

1. Gainward GeForce 2 MX-400/TV out with 64 megs of 6 ns memory, engine/memory speed = 200/166 mhz

or

2. Gainward GeForce 2 MX-400/TV out golden sample with only 32 megs of 4 ns memory, engine/memory speed = 210/210

i can get both at the same price..so should i get the 1st alternative, because it has 64 megs of memory even though its 6 ns and it has slower speed (maybe overclock it) or 2nd one because its just faster..i mean how important is 64 megs of memory compared to importance of speed ?

If I may suggest something else, get Hercules 3D Prophet 4500
(Kyro II 64 MB)

Very nice performing card at an attractive price..
Great picture quality!

[hmmm]

yeah i would probably get kyro 2 before these (even though it doesnt have t&l), but im in finland and kyro 2's are pretty expensive in here (990 finnish marks = 152 dollars !), i mean i can get geforce 2 pro at the same price as kyro 2 (Leadtek Geforce 2 Pro/tv-out 32 megs is 950 finnish marks)

but i just saw a thread in this forum that says geforce 3 mx is out this week.....so maybe i am gonna wait and see how expensive they are and maybe geforce 2 mx will be even cheaper after that...

If you're after more info on getting vid cards in Finland, give Maha_x an e-mail.

I'd get the 32mb one with faster ram. It'll overclock further, and the jump between 32 to 64 is slim to none.

Faster Ram!!!
cause you dun't really need 64MB if ur not running it @ an resolution higher than 1024x768

[hmmm]

yeah i would never use bigger resolution than 1024*768, i mainly play unreal tournament and even with 1024*768 i could probably hardly even see the crosshair (dot, probably 1 pixel), so im gonna get the golden sample one, but i wait if geforce 3 mx is released this week first..btw im watching these prices from kind of a pricewatch of finland (http://www.mbnet.fi/hintaseuranta/) and i just noticed that "AOpen GeForce2 Pro 32 MB AGP" is only abut 20 dollars more than this golden sample mx....might go for that (have to read some review of that card first)

don't get that.....it's just an unbranded card using crap components

you will find not as good performance from it comparing to something made by like asus or leadtek or hercules
