In a place known as alt.games.quake2, Stephen Gordon <keng...@primus.com.au> was running around screaming something about "3D Card Recommendations". Before the men in white coats arrived and took him away, he managed to say the following: >I'm looking to up my system soon, can anyone recommend a good low price >3d card (AGP). >My price range is limited, maybe up to $A250, (around $US125). I had >heard of a cheap card from a Japanese manufacturer. -Any suggestions >welcome. Well, the GF2 MX gives without a doubt the best bang for your buck, but it might be a bit over your price limit. Don't know about you there in australia, but here in finland you can get a GF2 MX for 1000 FIM, which is about 140 USD... You also didn't say what card you currently have, nor your system specs. If you have a low-end CPU(sub-500), you might be better off upgrading that first, though it costs more money... If you want to go cheaper, you can get a V3 or TNT2, though the GF-MX would be better as it'll be a decent card in the future too... -- The Melodramatic MuuMi "Forty-two! Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?" "I checked it very thoroughly, and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is." -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GU dx s+:- a--- C++ UL P L+ E---- W++ N++ o?
