Hi,
I currently have 2 gf2mx 400's.
One is on a p4 1.6 (423pin) 512mb pc133 sdram on an ecs mobo.

while the other is on a 1gig duron on ecs k7s5a mobo.

I did some benches and the duron oc'd at 1240 (124/124) pc2400 corsair ddr beats the p4 with the same vid card even when the p4 is oc'd at 1760mhz.

I want a new vid card ( tax return coming soon ), I still drool over the gf3's and the radeon 8500.

Should i wait for the gf4?
also thinking of trading the duron for an xp 1700 or higher,

if i do, where should i put the new vid card? p4 or duron/athlonxp?
or should i just settle for a radeon 7500 or a gf3 ti200?

suggestions?

Yes definitely wait for the GeForce 4. The Williamette P4 were a bad Intel processor the Northwood seem to be more successfull.

I also heard the GeForce 4 MX are preforming very good and are going for a cheap price, much cheaper than GeForce 3's release.
