I'm looking into purchasing one of these cards on ebay, price permitting. I will be upgrading from a nVidia Geforce 440 MX 64 mb. Which card would work out best for me?The specs on the nVidia card are:============================# Powerful nVIDIA ???? 5th generation Geforce FX (NV34) serial graphics processing chipset# 0.15 micron process# Mounted 128MB DDR display memory# Core frequency: 250MHz, display memory: 400MHz# Supporting AGP8X display interface, AGP bus bandwidth up to max 2.1GBps# LMAII (Lightspeed Memory Architecture II) driving highly efficient memory2nd generation programmable nfiniteFX II engine# nVIDIA full-screen accuview antialiasing technology# Integrated dual 400MHz RAMDAC# Supporting VGA/DVI/TV-out# DirectX 9.0 or lower version# Multi-interface NVIDIA UDA (Unified Driver Architecture) Detonator drivers# Multi-interface NVIDIA UDA drivers ============================The specs on the ATI card are:============================# Powered by ATI Radeon 9250 VPU - 240MHz# 128MB-64bit DDR memory - 400MHz# Four parallel pixel pipelines# One parallel vertex processing engines# SMARTSHADER

I had the FX 5200, and it worked ok. you will definately see a mark up in performance from the MX. If you can get your hands on a BFG FX 5200, since it is 30% stronger than a normal FX5200.

personally i'd go for a higher spec card, both of the cards you mention are almost of the bottom of their ranges, granted they will outperform your present card, but you would see more performance going for an older G4 ti card. also hese cards are so cheap new i would not think it would be worth getting one from ebay by the time you get it posted to you t may even cost more.
