Title: Which GeForce do I buy?
Post by: geistx on October 22, 2001, 09:07:00 PM

I implore the AH community to help me decide on a good video card.  My budget is $150 or less.  I recently purchased a P4 bare bones system (1.7Ghz, ASUS P4B Mobo, 256MB of RAM) and I am looking for a good AGP 1.5v 4x compatible video card.  I hear a lot of people say a lot of good things about GeForce 2 cards and doing some basic research at CompUSA's site the GeForce 2s fall within my price range, but there are many kinds, which one do I choose?

VisionTek (I hear a lot of good about VisionTek)
GeForce2 MX Video Card, AGP, 64MB  
GeForce2 MX200 Video Card, AGP, 32MB  GeForce2 MX200 Video Card, AGP, 32MB    
XTasy 5864 GeForce2 TI Video Card, AGP, 64MB  

PNY    
Verto GeForce2 MX400 Video Card, AGP, 64MB      Verto GeForce2 MX400 Video Card, PCI, 64MB     Verto GeForce2-MX200 Video Card, AGP, 32MB         Verto GeForce2-Ti Video Card, AGP, 64MB      

Shuttle Computer Group    
GeForce2 MX200, AGP, 32MB
GeForce2 MX400, AGP, 32MB  

My old system had a Voodoo 5500 which was a great video card, but 3dfx went under and the 5500 isn't P4 mobo compatible (can't do 1.5v or so the message boards say, which sux royally).

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

P.S. - D'Oh, I really need to scroll my browser down more, I keep missing the appropriate forums.  Sorry.  :P
