Sweet Deal on Video Card

[Guest]

Hi, I was deciding between 2 video cards, the GF2 MX-400 or Radeon 7200. During my research, I found a great deal on Radeon 7500. Get this:

Radeon 7500 Retail Box. $150 with tax, CAN$
Unreal or What? What does everyone think? Should I jump on it and buy one? I'm seriously thinking about it.
Thanks, Larry

Looks like a good deal. Fry's is selling MX200s for $100US.

I know, I'm just giving an example of crappy video cards going for similar prices.
Why'd you buy an MX400, anyway?

for my dad for his christmas present. It's the cheapest thing i could find that he wanted. He wanted TV out to watch movies on his TV from his DVD player. Everything was soo expensive besides the radeon ve which i didn't see. He wanted a subwoofer those start at 100 bucks about. He wanted what else RAM for his old computer. I didn't wanna buy EDO ram and say here! I know he wouldn't even use the computer for what he wants to do with it in the first place. But i know he'll watch DVD's. So thats why i got him that. I got my bro a 16x DVD rom from pioneer. Both about the same price so it worked out pretty fair.
