You don&#39;t really need a new sound card. Motherboards come with sound integrated nowadays, most have 6.1

You really need to shut the fuck. Have you ever owned a gf4 mx 440?? If you have and you had problems with it thats not anyones problem. I have had my gf4 mx 440 for a while and I have had no problems playing even the newer games like call of duty,halo,battlefield,kotor etc. and with good graphics.

Same here, the G4 MX is an excellant budget card, of yesterday now though.

Also, the G4&#39;s, are really a good bargain these days. [/b][/quote]
Yep. I agree 100%

I have a geforce4MX440 64mb and its a very reliable card.

If it was DX9 compatible it would be an awsome card.

BTW trillscout, was the 2.4Ghz available 2 years ago ??

Hmmm my gf4 mx 440 integrated is DX9 compatible

[TRshady]

Your have a nice comp there
Most specs better then mine and I made mine this year, lol.

I would say upgrade the grpahics card though, although the mx440 is not all &#39;crap&#39;, you could be a lot better off. I had a gf4 mx420 for over a year and it served be great, not sure why we hear so much bad reviews about it, most probably when comparing the the ti&#39;s of the same set ...

yea a friend of mine bought it like a year and a half ago or something like that....cost him 310dollars.... he got it like a week after it was out... the card plays game easily...and the card will last like a year more or so...perhaps more.... its a monster card...i wish i got one, but there arent many now.... the card is STILL very expensive tho....

[Evil Gemini]
