Hello!

I found two Australian computer websites which appear to be more professional and offer more variety of choices for you, so you may wish to check them out. Here are their web addresses:

http://www.i-tech.com.au

http://www.ht.com.au

While I used a GeForce 2 MX card for a long time (in fact, I used the Hercules one you're looking at and was very pleased with it), the GeForce 2 MX is really wearing old. Since you specified that you don't wish to spend over $200(au), I took the liberty of browsing the store inventories for you.

If you could find one for a decent price, I'd highly recommend either a GeForce 3 Ti 200 64MB (which I recently purchased) or, if you wait a while longer, for just a little more you could get the GeForce 4 T4200 128MB (or 64MB). Both are the "budget" versions of their respective generation of GeForce hardware, but both have more than enough kick for most current and upcoming games.

However, within you're price range the only solid card I can recommend is the "Leadtek GF2 Titanium 32MB Retail, TH" (That is how both of the online shops I put addresses for list them, just browse under computer hardware in the "video"/"video card" categories) It retails right about $200(au) just like you wished for.

The GeForce 2 Titanium 32MB is probably the most powerful of the GeForce 2 line, and totally dusts the GeForce 2 MX in performance. (comparatively speaking) Why not spend the same as you were willing and get VERY good performance for your money?

Let me know if this helps at all, or if you have any further questions. [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't know it all, but I'm a gaming junkie and try to read up on all the happenings in the video card and CPU markets.
