full stops????

I know mx400 is not a good choice for agp users that is why it is in my old computer, the one without agp slots, my newer computer has a geforce3 ti500 but the mx400 did me just fine when i couldn't get an agp card and it is still reasonably good card in most games (still nowhere near ti500).END COMMUNICATION.

Think he just means they'd be more suited to the PC/Internet forum, which is generally understood to be the place to ask about hardware stuffs..

Because it's a PC games forum, and PC games require 3D cards to play properly. If you think these threads are stupid, don't reply to them.

Geforce mx for PCI ...... probably good for ppl who dont have a AGP slot... tho poor decision for a AGP user..
and even teh mx400's why produce those when the original oens were way faster :[

Oh I remeber the good old days. Three years ago I got my PC, 128 MB of RAM, Nividia TNT2 graphics card, Athlon 600, plenty of hard disk space left. Yes, the days were good. Then my hard disk was getting rapidly taken up with all my games, my RAM was getting outdated, as well as my processor and especially my graphics card. But now, I am focussed on bringing the good old days back. Today I got an extra 256MB Ram for £40, and now I need a processor and graphics card. If only I had about £300 to spend, oh well. There is robbery...
