I am looking into getting a PCI video card and they sell this one at the Wal-Mart near me so I was wondering if it is any good. A friend of mine is getting a computer tomarrow with the GeForce2 MX200 AGP so I can see how that will perform but will the PCI be not as good because it is PCI and not AGP? I know this isnt the greatest card out there but it is cheap and has to be better than the Intel integrated graphics I have now. But it is worth the $70? In probably around 8 months I will be getting a new comp but I cant get it right now so I just need a good card to use until then.

yah, the AGP version of a card will always be faster than the PCI version.

Try looking for that card on Pricewatch- the MX200 goes for about $40 or so. The mx400 is much much better, and only $10 more.

No way would I spend $70 on an MX card of any type. For that much I'd get a GTS instead.

If you really want to get a PCI one get the Xtasy 5564 GeForce2 MX400. The one I have well walk on a PCI Radeon Sdram card.
