GeForce 2 MX 400
Written: Aug 15 '02
Pros:It runs smoothly in games, supports high resolutions, supports tv-out.
Cons:Not as powerful as many other video cards now.
The Bottom Line: This is a great video card and you, the reader, should buy it if you need a decent card. It has worked great on my system for almost 2 years.
I bought this video card because I was using a Savage 3 that came with an IBM that I purchased, and it was not working very well once I tried to play games that required more power. I have been using it for about about a year and one half and it still works great.
The good:
1. Works great for games.
2. High resolutions.
3. TV-Out (I haven't actually tried it, but I am sure it works.)
4. Supports OpenGL.
5. Detonator 3 drivers come with the purchase.
6. A helpful video comes with the CD if you are new to installing hardware.
The bad:
1. Not top of the line.
2. May lag in first person shooter games such as Counter-Strike and Unreal Tournament at higher resolutions.
This is a great video card if you are looking for something inexpensive and powerful. If you are trying to build a top of the line system with the best of everything, this is not the card for you. Try a GeForce 4 Ti4600.
