Ok, I just upgrade my system from Celeron 400 to Athlon XP 1800. The next step is to upgrade the old school TNT (yes it's TNT, Diamond Viper 550 16mb ram)

I might be getting GF3 Ti500 or GF4Ti4400, which one should I get for serious 3D gaming? Budget around $250 to $300. I also need video-in and video-out. I don't care about the DVI.

I'm thinking about Asus, MSI or Leaktek.

Thank you

Yes....I agree. I got the 4400 Leadtek. VERY nice. I when from a G2 MX so I did not get as big of an increase as you but......

BTW......almost ALL flavors of Ti 4400 can be safely oc'ed to the 4600 with out extra cooling.

The sum of the intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.

The Gainward Ti4400 are pretty good. Great for o/cing like all Gainwood cards are... Umm.. Ti4400 whoops the Ti500 at basically anything and since they cost the same go for the Ti4400.

yea I like the Leaktek one the most too. Giant size HSF and looks very cool!

But the only thing I might not buying Leaktek bcoz it doesn't have any video-in.

So...I really dunno...but thank you guys.
