    That Radeon should wallop that geforce without too much trouble. That would be my pick.

    what kind of vid card do you have now. if you have an nvidia card then get the mx, but if you have an ati card get the 7000. it reduces potential problems with driver conflicts

    LOL I'd say they have good stability and great drivers (now anyway), but way better than nvidia's?? Yeah right :rolleyes: iirc the radeon 7000 does not have harware t&l so the performance between the two should be close.

    Man, ive been gone 1 day any everyone's lost the plot. LOL

    7000 better than a MX400? you gotta be kidding. Even in PCI flavour the 7000 isnt better than a MX200.

    ATI drivers are better? Since when?

    Better stability? another joke?

    Did Nvidia just piss everyone off and i missed it? whats with all the sudden misslead ATI bias?

    The 7000 really sucks compared to a MX400.And thats no joke.

    If it were a 7000 vs a MX200 then I'd say the 7000 would be faster. It doesn't have a T&L unit so the performance wouldn't be bottlnecked as much as the T&L equipped MX200 would be.

    Anyway, the MX400 is probably faster.

    Powered by the RADEON™ 7000 (a.k.a RADEON VE) graphics processor

    ATI HYPER Z™ technology reduces memory bandwidth consumption resulting in improved 3D performance
    A Radeon 7000 has HyperZ but the lack of a T&L unit really kills it. Still a Mobility Radeon 7000 at 166/166 is about the same performance as a Voodoo3 (Faster in Direct3D, slower in OpenGL).

    I believe desktop 7000's are at 183/183 so they will probably be overall faster than Voodoo3/TNT2 calibur graphics cards.

    Try to find Voodoo5 5500 PCI, it's still the fastest pci-card available.
