    tell me if my buy was good

    i recently bought a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGPX8
    do you think it's a good card?
    i don't know really how to try it out...
    im gonna get me a copy of counter-strike, but until then, is it a good buy?
    Best Regards,
    seec77

    If you helped me, cosinder yourself thanked.

    Get each and every Garfield strip here!
    Here you can get all Calvin & Hobes strips!
    Damn UComics! It was probably unprofitable for them to allow us to just download Garfield and Calving & Hobes strips... so they made folder indexing unallowed on their server!!!

    I am 33% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?
    I am 23% addicted to Star Wars. What about you?
    I am 0% addicted to Tupac. What about you?

    Depends how much you paid. It's not particularly fast, but the one we have works well enough for most purposes.

    I've bought the lastest and it's supports up to APG 4X . Did they release APG 8X Slot ?

    and about the card , it's wonderful for games esp , high resolution rates , most important is to get the most update driver from the company(Nvidia) not from the cd .

    What did you upgrade from? It will be perfect for something like Counter-Strike, I think.

    If you are talking about USD/CAD then you got totally ripped off.

    They released an update to the AGP spec, which brought about AGP 8X (first seen in the KT400 era I believe...)

    The GF4MX 440 isn't very fast, and would choke on most games at high resolutions (most remotely modern ones anyway). Remember that a GF4MX is merely a GF2-era card with a GF4 memory controller tacked on to it.
