hey guys
i have a pretty oudated Video card
its a Geforce 2 64mb
got it with my pc
is there any way to overclock it?
i have a good enough pc overall except the g card
if not ill have to buy a GeForce 4 128 MB
(if i can conjure up the money somehow! )

here they are:
P4 1.9GHZ
256MB PC8100
GeForce 2 MX/MX400 AGP 64MB

i think this is a pretty good system, but the card sucks
it came with the PC when i bought it
i should have gotten the Geforce 3 
i also need more RAM

yeah get ur hands on a decent GF4 ti4200. i have this card and the overclocking possibilities are nutty!!!!! pretty cheap too and oh yeah.......stay away from the MX !!!! yuk

Hmm, I think your fathers spending money on the wrong item here!

You won't see anything like the performance return from a $550 investment in RAM compared to say $400 spent on a Geforce4ti period.

As for overclocking your MX graphics card, try it and you'll probably fry it! as I already said, these cards will overclock a little, 5>10% but you really won't see any noticeable improvement.

I feel 256MB RAM would be just fine for your system, as long as you have the right 3D card to go with it - Which a Geforce2 MX (overclocked or not) is not the right card.


My Brother in law has a similar system to you, (built by me!)
P4 1.8ghz, 512MB DDR RAM, Geforce4 ti 4600.
Recently, one of his 256MB RAM sticks went faulty, so, I removed it so I could return it to the store.....
Guess what? The above system with half of its previous RAM still managed to comfortably average 50+ fps running CFS2 , 1280x1024 32Bit, with Sliders Maxed. Once I'd relpaced the RAM, I got the same results.....

Thus, I'd say RAM isn't the issue, the 3D Card most certainly is.
Marketwise, the Geforce4 ti is about as future proof as your likely to get.
I'd keep your existing 256MB, buy a newer,better 3D card then come back & tell me how happy you are (and will be) with it!

Hope this makes some kind of sence......  ??? 

hey, i just saw an ad in the papers
it said that a pny 128 MB DDR AGP gf 4 was 230 USD
it is at my local bestbuy (it also says 8.8gb/sec bandwith)
is this a good card/deal?

my dad still says no, butt to hell with him!
i got my own doe (bout 100, so not far to go )

Hey Guys,

At risk of sounding like a parrot, go here:

www.pricewatch.com

and get yourselves a GF4 TI 4200 64mb card for $115.

The card is faster than the 128mb versions and rocks.  8)

erm no it isnt lol. my  xfx gf4 ti4200 128mb whips the pants of a ti4600 (overclocked of course) at a reasonable price of $174.

note that the stock geforce 4 ti4200 64mb is clocked at 250 core clock and 550 memory clock....higher than the geforce 4 ti4400 and  pretty darn impressive until you consider what the 128mb version can handle

i have mine at 360mhz core clock and 720mhz memory clock.

this card listed above has higher performance than many other new cards including the fx5200 and the fx5600. can match the ati9600 and the 9500 on performance

hmm strange i have direct x 9 installed on my comp runs better than direct x8 ever did
