Graphic card comparison

You can but your card is already good for a P3, in fact MX400 is still available for P4. Ti4200 is a stronger card than MX400, but you will not notice any difference unless you play computer games. The stronger the card means the quicker the imageschange and much clearer pictures. It is up to you, but for me, if I will to buy a Ti4200, I will make sure that I have a brand new unit to go with it.

Another thing I've noticed is in games you do get more features showing up with a better card, I jumped from a 32 meg riva tnt 2 cadr to a 9000 pro ati card and yes everything looks much better. That was in my 900 mghz duron system. I've read further thru the specs that came with it and one thing I noticed was the ati pro should be able to produce 13.2 million or bilion something or other changes but my motherboard speeds limit it to 10. My motherboard is still using sdram pc 133 and has a FSB of I believe 200 or 266, I forget which it was when I looked it up. But yes you can see a difference. If you use Mech warrior you can now see the dust splash up with each footstep, DiabloII has a much more surreal look to its 3d, and you will no longer be held up waiting for the graphics to catch up with the processor. The advantage of the faster cards with more memory is they take the burden off the cpu, sam ewith sound cards versus onboard sound. I don't know if the ti 4200 would be alittle overkill for your system but the fsb of your system, basically double your ram speed, probably plays a bigger part once you exceed 800 mghz processors. I'ld still recommend the faster card for gaming experiences. have fun!
