video card choice

Crispies · 03-20-2006, 01:50 PM

i have a geforce 4 mx 420 and a radeon x300 which is better

A Google search suggested the ATI Radeon is a PCI Express video card, is this correct? Or is it the Sapphire Radeon, which is an AGP card?

ATI Radeon video card

As long as your board supports PCI Express then IMO I would go with the ATI.
What processor are you running with? What are your expectations from this card? ALot of gaming?
