Which video card should I get?

[Guest]

I have found out a lot of information on this newsgroup over the past few days, and I have found out that I should get a new video card. So I was looking on sites and I found some pretty good ones for cheap, here's what they are called and how much they are (Canadian prices)... could you help me as which one to get

--- XFX GeForce2 MX400 Video Card / 64MB DDR / AGP 4X ----- $5

--- PNY GeForce4 MX440 Video Card / 64MB / AGP 8X / TV Out ----- $5

--- eVGA GeForce4 MX440se Video Card / 128MB DDR / AGP 4X / TV Out ----- $6

--- XFX GeForce MX4000 Video Card / 128MB DDR / AGP / TV Out ----- $7

--- XFX GeForce FX 5200 Video Card / 128MB DDR / AGP 8X / TV Out ---- $8

I think I'm gonna either get the XFX GeForce MX4000 Video Card, because it's a good price for what it has and the features, or the eVGA GeForce4 MX440se Video Card. Which out of those do you think I should get... or if there are better ones than that in that price range, please tell me, thanks

All of these cards are on the "low-end" of the performance/quality.

Of cource, if you where to buy a FX 5700, FX 5990 or FX 5950 you eill have
"the best" type o nVidia card. However, who really has $300-$600 to spend.


As for now, you're best bet is the XFX GeForce FX 5200. It has DirectX 9
support built-in so the newer games will work. Also, it does run in AGP 4
mode, for I have two of them, in my two PCs. Both my motherboards only do
AGP 4 has the max slot speed.
