The ATi Radeon 9000 Pro is a lot better than the geforce mx....
STUPID ME BOUGHT A  geforce , and then Radeon  brought out their card that wiped mine on ALL the benchmark tests...Doh.

But most of it is really overkill, with image effects that you`ll never need ( but nice to have!), remember that an 8 mb card will run Quake 3d  in Frag-master mode (800x600 low textures) quite happily...

Anything over £100 is going to be good... :-D

Yes you`ll find it a lot better for games/dvd , twin monitors ( for zoom views in Quake3d! ).

As for productivity, the rage 128 is just as good...

BTW. i couldn`t get any links on the choons page :-?
