[Pack Fan]

Any of you video card experts consider this a good deal for someone not
looking for the bleeding edge?

Spend $20 more and get yourself a Radeon 9600XT, much better filtering and
anti-aliasing performance.

It's a good card (I use one!), but it's not DX9 compatible, which the newer
games require.

I would buy a 9600.
I have a 4200.

I've heard the terms "compatible" and "Compliant"...anyone know the
difference in terms of computing, such as the example from the previous
post? I've seen these terms used in thumb drive descriptions when it
comes to USB 2.0...

I'd say compatible means "won't crash when used with" while compliant
means "has been tested to work with".

$145 for a GF4 card seems very expensive to me when you consider you
can get a low end GF5 or Radeon that is DX9 compatible for that much.

Remember, though, that low end FX cards run slower than the higher end
Ti cards.

That's why the only decent choice is an ATI card....

"Require" I don't think so....

Not if you use linux...

Well, I'm hoping this is true. I bought the GF4 card on impulse. Probably
should've waited. In any event, this is for a workstation, not a gaming
system.

Also, I do love dual monitor systems and currently have two. While I wasn't
planning on making this a dual monitor system, it may well turn out that
way.

I`d like to see a low end Radeon or FX card score this big in 3D Mark 2001se
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7270327 I would say worth buying
Geforce 4 over low end Radeon or FX card but take a Radeon 9600 PRO over any
Geforce 4 Ti card (but they don`t score that much higher then Geforce 4 TI
just have dx9 support) and they cost about £ 100 + at the moment.

good cards, but old-generation ones (as in not latest dx9 supporting in
hardware, which doesn't matter yet, but will when halflife 2 comes out if
you're a gamer). get a radion 9600 instead for similar money, or a ti4200
off ebay for 60 quid.
