Hi,
I currenly have a Duron 1200Mhz, 256MB 133mhz SDRam, Geforce2 MX system.
Looking at doing a quick upgrade (mainly for games).
I think an upgrade to video card, is where it's at. So I've got two choices I've been looking at:
Pixelview Ge-Force4 MX440 64MB 5ns DDR -> NZ$135 (approx US$67)
Triplex Ge-Force4 Ti4200 (250/550MHz) 64MB 4ns DDR -> NZ$279 (approx US$140)
I'm just wondering if the purchase of a Ti4200 will be worth it if the rest of the system is so [-peep-] and cannot keep up with it? I don't think I'd be using the Ti4200 to its full potential? It's double the price. Will I really see a substantial performance gain over an MX440? I'm guessing I'll almost double my frame rate with a MX440 over the Geforce2 MX...
So what do you reccon I should do? (Think there's a chance it'll run Doom 3 on low settings?)
Thanks in advance!
