I currently hava a tnt2 ultra video card. The card is starting to go out. The fan is making noises. I am looking at replacing it and I am on a budget. I have found a Geforce2 MX400 with 64 mb for $31 and I Geforce2 GTS 32 mb for $34. Which would be better to get?

Thanks in advance.

Go for the 64mb card :wink:

Although the card has a higher amount of ram and can therefore handle larger textures, the Geforce 2 GTS is a faster card. Of course it depends on what games you are planning on playing

I do not play a lot of games, but when I do I want performance. Mostly what I do is office type stuff.

for Office use 32MB are enough, no need for 64mb or even for 32 mb,
so I would stick to the Geforce 2 GTS cause if you want to play this card
will be faster. Try also comparing accessories if there are differences (perhaps
one got an tv out or something like that)
