Hi. My friend has decided to buy himself a 1.4 gig Athlon. So he is confused as to which graphics card he should get. The offer he is considering includes a 3d prophet 4000 with 64MB of RAM. I saw that the shop has also a 3d prophet 4500 with 32MB of RAM but I never saw a review of that one. Which is better for him, the 4000 w/ 64MB or 4500 w/32MB (is the 64MB as useless as the 64MB on geforce 2 MX400)? Is the mx400 a viable choice or do both kyro's smoke it?
I'd also apprciate someone pointing me to anywhere where these different models of kyro based 3d prophets are reviewed.
Thanks.

I Would say go with the 4500. I believe the 4500 has 64mb ram not 32mb. I think both 3d prophets will smoke the mx400.

Thanks, but I already saw reviews of the 64MB versions, I need a review of the 3d prophet 4500 32MB one as opposed to the 4000 64MB.

I'm not sure if this is an international version only, But I saw pictures of the 3d prophet 4500 32MB box. Why would the shop fake them?
