There is no such thing as a GF3 MX.
However a GF3 is better than a GF4 MX (has pixel shaders, whereas 4MX has none).

A cheap fx5200 will likely give you better performance and newer features for most things, and are comparable in price.
That's what I'd do!

Well, yeah, but you're talking about an extra hundie for that bad boy! Or $80 is the closest price point i could find.
*sigh*
But yes, /me wants a 9600 pro also.

I can only speak for the old gf series. Gf4 ti4200 is not a bad card at all. It is decent now and probably will be a somewhat high-end card for little money at least for a while more.
Not a bad deal at all.

Ah, I wasn't aware the price difference was so big. Regardless, his current GF4 MX is actually not much slower than the 5200 so the upgrade would be pointless, except that he would get a DX9 card, which again is pointless since the card is too slow to take advantage of it.khanmeister said:Well, yeah, but you're talking about an extra hundie for that bad boy!

FX5200 is generally SLOWER than an MX440, even moreso if you're using any of those 'new features' which completely defeats the purpose.
Really, the only people who should even be LOOKING AT an FX5200 are the stragglers still using GeForce2's or even cards which don't even have hardware T&L (or people with non-3D onboard video and no AGP slot).

you can get a Radeon 9600 for about 100 dollars from newegg, or for 30 more you can get the 9600 PRO or a GeForce FX 5700, but whatever you get, make sure its not a Radeon9600SE or a Radeon 9600 Pro EZ Version as those are dumbed down cards (poopy) i have the geforce fx 5700 myself and i am quite happy with it
