SuperBudget Choice 1 of 3

The PC World near me were clearing out 64mb Ti4200s the other day for £30. Had I been a bit less of a lazy git I would have bought the four they had and ebayed them. Anyway, it would be worth your while asking how much the cards are.

By the way, much as I dislike Tom's Hardware, I'll grudgingly admit that their video card roundup is a very useful comparison tool to give you an idea of how different cards perform relative to each other:

Actually I took the easy way out.
I bought a cheap yet acceptable card for my needs.
I picked up a Geforce MX 4000 128mg for £30.
I needed a card and now I've got one. I think I'l start thinking about getting a card I actually want when I've got the PC I'm building together.
Y'know. I'll assemble and then upgrade.

Aye, not bad, can't really argue for £30. It'll still play most games fine at normal resolution and detail levels. It might well overclock a bit too, worth a try....

Yeah for £30 that isnt bad, just didnt want to blowing your money on something crap.

Geforce MX 4000

GeForce2 MX 400, or GeForce4 MX [something] ?

not too bad i guess, i picked up a gf4mx440 for £22 about 6 months ago tho , still better than the 9200/5200 cards

The way forward, esp if you cant get into the fs/ft forum.

EDIT: Missed the dfact you already sorted it out. Oh well. Maybe useful for anyone else browsing!

I had to barter with them at TLM. They wanted £37 and it cost me £33 to get precise but I'm not picky over £3
It's new too.

"GF4 mx 460 (highest clock speed i believe -> for the mx range.)"

Check my sig, not a bad clock speed is it?
Also i like how my card beats most fx5200's at 3dmark2k1

Picked up a sound card with my change aswell.
32Bit , Multi Channel, Surround Sound outputs for £8.
Nothing special but if I'd have bought a more expensive graphics card I wouldnt' have it.
Buying the card was a bit of a fiasco.
The most expensive card i could afford with the money I took was a 128mb gf5500 but they were out of stock and said they'd have some after 12.
I went back in the afternoon and they'd got in 5500s but they were 256mg and they wanted £70.
I didn't want the 5200s (Which they got a little touchy about) so I got the MX 4000.

Just at my Mum's house. She's giving me another GFC card.
Radeon 7000.
Anyone wanna tell me anything about it?
