i have nvidia
but i think the radeon 8500 would be better choice out of those.because gf4mx 440 came with this system and was not a brilliant performer for games.(thats if they interest you)
if not games you want it for then it dont make too much difference.but bear in mind that if you went for a nvidia then you won't have any hastle changing drivers etc. Last edited by MIG-31; Jul 27, 2003 at 01:54 AM. |

For example the min recommended specs for UT2003 are 733Mhz and CNC:Generals is 800mhz... Time to start saving...even if you can get a cheap celeron 1.8 or something and a new mobo that takes SD ram + ddr it would really help. And that way you can keep the SD ram and upgrade to DDR later without needing another new mobo. Stu |

I've been trying to dump a Built By ATi AIW 8500 DV w/ all the goodies included... about 2 months old... probably about 100$ personal message if interested. I just upgraded to a 9700.
