New Video Card for my PIII 800

A Radeon 9000 maybe...at least this one is DX8 card if compared to the GF4 MX.

I would suggest a G4 4200. They caan be had for a little over $100US and would still be good for a processor upgrade later on.

Your 800 will not max it out but it will take a lot of processes from the cpu. Which will give you good frame rates because the cpu has less work to do.

I aint signing nothing!!!

Get a GF4 Ti4200. THat way if you do a mobo/cpu/mem upgrade in 6 months, you'll be able to use the video card for a while.

I recently replaced my GF2 MX for a GF4 Ti4200 on my p3 850 system (113x7.5). My 3D mark score is now 6509 where it used to be around the 2600 area. Im soon upgrading my comp to an axp though.

I'd get a Radeon 8500, the full version is under $100, and it's a better card than the Ti4200.

Just curious, why do you think the 8500 is a better card than the 4200, Crashman?
Just because of DirectX 8.1 support? The Ti4200 performs better than the 8500 at default and is a better overclocker.

They perform about equally, 8500 has 8.1 support, I think Trueform will continue to be added to new games, and the 8500 has better TV-out.
