Hi people.
I currently have an ati rage 128 with 32 megs, but unfortunately i seriously need tv out for my needs. I will sell my current card for a good price(already made a deal) and was wondering what would you suggest that would be fairly cheap with tv out... I was thinking around geforce 2 mx... but should i get 200 or 400. P.S. how much improvement would i see in my graphical performance? I do play games and would like a 3d improvement while i'm upgrading anyway... but i think i'll see improvement with almost anything considering i'm running core/mem at 90/90

Right now my video is fine at CS running 640x480 after that it drops below 30 fps too often.

Running a penium 3 450.

Thnx a lot for any advice. Keep in mind it's on an agp 2x mobo so that means a really good vid card won't profit too much. I want a card that would not loose too much running at only 2x.

My mobo is ASUS p2b-f

It only supports pc100 and i don't want to o/c but i will if you say i can benefit a lot from ocing it.

Someone actually *bought* a Rage 128 from you? The worst card in the history of ATI? I feel sorry for them...

If you wanna stay ATI, the LE isn't a bad deal, although you'll get better gaming performance out of a MX400, or better yet, a GTS without paying too much more. The tv-out on my Leadtek GTS works great.
