    Should I buy?

    At Newegg they have a refurbished ASUS GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB for $95.00! Do you guys think I should buy it?

    How much money do you have? You might want to pass it up for a better card at a good price.

    Well I have about $100 and I have a PNY GeForce4 MX420 PCI vidcard so this would be a serious upgrade. Also I bought my vidcard for about the same price but it was on sale for $80.00

    Haven't heard much, good or bad, about newegg refurbs. Just make sure you can get your money back if it doesn't work! Here's a list of all the new vid cards between 90 and $100 at newegg: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...roperty&DEPA=1
    The Money Trap = Intel i7 930 | Corsair H70 | ASUS P6X58D-E | 3 x 2GB G.Skill DDR3 2000 6-9-6-24 | EVGA GTX 580 DS SC | OCZ Vertex 2 90GB SSD | WD VelociRaptor | Klipsch ProMedia | Cooler Master HAF 932 | Antec TPQ-1200W | Dell U2711 2560 x 1440 27" | Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit | APC RS1500

    Why on earth would you want to get a PCI video card? I had to get one for my girlfriends rig because she didn't have an AGP slot and the bandwidth bottleneck is terrible. Horrible scores on 3Dmark.

    Vista makes me want to stab myself in the eye so I'm still using XP Pro... Yay DX9...
