post your graphics cards' specs here.

MINE:
1998 Rage 128 Pro AGP

it sucks. no dvd support, so when i wanna watch LOTR: the fellowship, which is a good movie, whatever you think, it looks like crap! stupid software decoder!

well, i saw a geforce 2 ultra for $50 a few days ago, told my dad, and he said no. he can be really mean to me sometimes.

all I know is my card is 16 MB...

wait, according to my tower, it's an 3D S3 ProSavage 8 (keep in mind, I have no idea what any of this means).

I'm setting my hopes low, though.....I just want a GeForce 2 Ti

Anything with MX in the model number by Nvidia sucks. I got the 9000 ATI new for $69 shipped and it has dx 8.1 all in hardware (unlike the gf4mx and gf2).

There are faster cards but for the features and money spent the 9000 was a good deal.

a geforce 2 ultra is better than every geforce 1,2,3, and 4 mx. i soooooo want one. i wonder if procerus has a kind heart and a loose wallet....

nVIDIA GeForce 2 MX400
64MB

It's BIOS sucks. It keeps restarting my computer when I run some programs (like InstallShield... I can't even install many programs!!!)
But it's new so I'm not getting rid of it in a hurry.

I have a couple
In my main box I have a Geforce 4200 Ti 128 mb
I also have a geforce 4 460mx 64 meg it my networked computer.

In my dos only box I have a ATI Mach 64 2meg PCI.

I really need a better PCI card for dos, but I haven't found any cheap ones yet.

im not too sure what is in my computer at home cause it was a prebuilt computer and opening it up will void the warrenty (dammit, i REALLY wanna open it too). I know its a 32 MB tho (my only fear is that the guy who sold us the computer at Futureshop was lying. He told us that it wasn't intergrated, but i have the worst feeling that he didn't even know what integrated ment :S . I do have an ATI RAGE 128 16mb at home in its box never been used (well, i installed it and my old computer wasnt powerful enough to run it so i took it out again) but technically its brand new. It DOES have DVD capabilities, but im not sure how good they are since i've never used it b4.
