Title: New video card...did I do good?
Post by: Curval on March 24, 2003, 02:44:49 PM

I just picked up an NVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (64m DDR) on the advice of my IT guy.

I didn't pay for it, so I can't complain if it is not the best I could have gotten.

What is the general impression of the card?

Best Buy had a pricing error last week and was offering the PNY GF4Ti4200 64MB for $79 with no rebates, lots of people that bought the card opening installing found out the card was in fact the 128MB version, I'm so pissed that I am a broke college student and didnt have the money to hop on this hell of a deal. Oh well

 If it's not he 128mb 8xAGP the 64mb ddr card is faster.

 That is :

 128mb 8xAGP
 64 mb ddr
 128mb 4xAGP

 Is the order.

Is my ATI Radeon 7500 PCI gonna make it through to AH2 with my celeron 700 complement with 384 megs of SDRAM?

You are already extremely CPU limited. You're pretty much in a situation where you need a complete rework of your system if you want a real upgrade.

Your system must be at least 3 years old anyway so it's time to open the wallet already :)
