  • I took a chance, good thing I did

    Nov 03 '00
    Pros: low price, fast (!), good support
    Cons: doesn't overclock well

    Summary: why I bought this board: *-. Wanted to replace a Diamond 8MB AGP card and Voodoo 2 accelerator to increase my gaming framerates significantly. *-. Some college students, including myself, can not afford the 300 and 400 dollar GeForce ... read more

  • Blue to keep it cool

    Jun 08 '02
    Pros: Low Cost; Reliable; Performance; Memory
    Cons: Resolution Limitations; Competition

    Summary: Introduction The Hercules Prophet II MX card is one of the cheapest graphics cards made which has a good mix of specification and brand name, making it one of the most valuable. At just under £99 UK the miniature built card is not very ... read more

  • More for Less

    Jul 08 '01
    Pros: This card is very fast, very reliable and very inexpensive.
    Cons: The card isn't top notch and there are some compatablitity issues.

    Summary: To start out I would like to point out that I bought a 64Mb version of this video card and not the 32Mb version recommended at Epinions.com and that I want anybody and everybody who can afford it to do the same thing. I'll tell you why. The ... read more

  • Awesome results for those of us on a budget.....

    Jun 30 '01
    Pros: Excellent Price, definitely improves performance
    Cons: OK, so it isn't the BEST Video Card available, but the price is right.

    Summary: OK, I don't have this exact board, but it was the closest one I could find. The card I actually bought was the 3D Prophet 4500...the price is the same as the 3D Prophet II MX advertised here, about $150, but from the reviews I read about that card it ... read more

  • My opinion

    Jun 05 '01
    Pros: One of the fastest MX's out there.
    Cons: Some instability.

    Summary: 3D Prophet 2 MX works well. Its one of the fastest MX's out there, and because it has 5.5 ns RAM, it can overclock farther than other MX's which have 6.0 ns RAM. The drivers that come with the card are very outdated, so you should download the ... read more

  • Best Game Performance to Price Ratio of any Graphics Card. (Updated 7/28/01)

    May 08 '01
    Pros: Drop in price makes excellent budget card even better!
    Cons: 2D speed good, not great. Hard to upgrade drivers.

    Summary: Card bought: 32 meg, with no TV out or dual monitor capability. The core speed is 175 mhz. Monitor viewed from card is a Viewsonic PS790 with a desktop usually at a resolution of 1152x864. I bought this card to replace a Matrox G400 ... read more

  • The Little Card That Could

    Feb 05 '01
    Pros: Wonderful performance, even better price
    Cons: There are faster cards out there...but do you really need them?

    Summary: If you are like me and don't have the $400 dollars to buy a top of the line graphics card, but you still love to play games and demand performance than look no further than the GeForce 2 MX. This card is perfectly balanced between price and performance. ... read more

  • Not the best

    Jan 09 '01
    Pros: Fast for the price
    Cons: Does not run flawless in some OS

    Summary: This card is very fast for the price. But you'll have problems running D3D and OpenGL apps, especially if you own a VIA powered motherboard. 3Dfx cards, although not the fastest -but very fast- run in any OS and motherboard, run the first time and all ... read more

  • Keeping it Simple

    Nov 02 '00
    Pros: Great price and performance
    Cons: Not enough detail in the manuals

    Summary: I have to give a thumbs up for a great card It was the first time I've ever installed a new graphics card in my HP Pavillion. I thought it was time to upgrade. Shopping at a local computer store I looked at quite a few different ... read more

  • The Budget 3D that will blow you away

    Nov 02 '00
    Pros: Good performance, very cheap
    Cons: Doesn't perform higher resolutions well

    Summary: I think you may have to wonder what separates this card from all the other GeForce2 MX’s out there. Especially in my case, because if it was software, I don’t have a clue. I bought this card OEM from www.mwave.com and basically got a box with a card, ... read more

  • Great Overall Budget Card but with reservations

    Sep 27 '00
    Pros: Excellent performance for price range... even beats out some more expensive cards
    Cons: drivers are still a little shaky, no Twinview support, not much else in box like software, card is able to support DDR ram which would speed it up considerably!

    Summary: I've been looking through several "budget" video cards to update my parent's computer at home. Running at a decent 450 MHz Pentium II chip and a TNT video card (the first one!), it could use a few updates. Now finding a good video card that ... read more
