What's the difference?

[Guest]

UK user here, so I don't know if anyone can help! Fingers crossed! I had to send my Athlon 1.3 back for repair as the thing kept crashing or restarting after 10 mins. They've repaired the PC by replacing the motherboard (which I'm asking about in the motherboard forum!) and Graphics Card. Now then, the original Card was an ELSA Gladiac 511 GeForce 2 MX 64mB. They have replaced it with a GeForce2 MX200 64mb. I don't know the manufacturer or anything else. I've had a look around and can't find a card with this title. Can anyone help? Is it as good/worse/better than the original board? (Just incase they've tried to rip me off!)

Cheers people!

IT's worse. The MX200 has a 64bit memory interface- cutting the memory bandwidth in half. Tell them to give you a MX400. Here's a link describing the differences in the MX series GPU's.
