Id so Go with a Radeon over a MX, you can get them for 70 bucks, they run better at 32 bit, and ATI has been releasing a ton of beta and official drivers for it.

ok... the debate is to the two cards i have here...
ATI Rage Fury Pro Vs. Nvidia GeForce 2MX
both 32mb both AGP
both cost me $70. retail w/software bundled
as for Radeon series cards, i'd like a DDR w/64mb personally...
but they ain't no $70... and i don't have a need for it right now.
DVD been in the box for the two months i've had it, unopened.
no cable yet... i'm into hardcore hardware as opposed to hardcore gaming.
for now, anyways. i'm investing in a MoBo next. i do believe there's no question the MX i have blows away the ATI that i have.
same system, same Ram, proc, etc.. same game.
as far as radeon cards, i'll try one when i get a deal on a good one.
this budget is limited.
and as for drivers, ATI has one set for all cards... was there this morning..
i'm NOT impressed! Nvidia has like 2 dozen versions out there.
maybe i'm wrong... but hey, i never claimed to be right. i just wanna report what i see, honestly, IMHO
thank you for your post AKDUDE, i will give the radeon serious consideration when it comes time to upgrade my MX
