GokuZool -- All GeForce 2 cards have the same basic architecture and abilities. The difference is that the MX versions have processors and RAM buses that have been slowed down considerably. For a small comparison, think of the difference between the GeForce 2 Ti I recommended and the GeForce 2 MX to be similar to the difference between a Pentium III 600 and a Pentium III 900. If you could choose one over the other for the same price, which would YOU choose?
As for the 32MB vs. 64MB, in all honesty, a GeForce 2 (especially an MX) will never really be able to take full advantage of the increase to 64MB. The GeForce 2 line bottlenecks before it can fully utilize 64MB. The GeForce 2 Ti can make far better use of its 32MB than the GeForce 2 MX can of its 64MB (much less 32MB!) Granted, like everyone else, if you could afford it I'd recommend a GeForce 3 or 4, but those Australian prices are insane. I'd recommend importing from the US, but you'd still wind up paying well over $200au anyway, so that's a moot point. As for a PS2, well, I enjoy mine, but I spend more time on my computer playing games, so... Farscry

Oh, as for your question about it saying 32/64MB memory on that Leadtek GF2MX, that just means it can be bought with either 32 OR 64 MB of RAM. [img]smile.gif[/img]

For the price, get a GF4 4200. It is almost the same speed as the 4400 but it costs $200 american. It's a great card for the money. If that's still too much, get the ATI Radeon 8500. You can pick on of those up now for about $130. Both are great cards.

True Milamber, but keep in mind the difference between the American $ and the Australian $, along with the cost of international shipping (and possible tariffs). If Gokuzool can strike the deal and afford it, the GeForce 4 T4200 would be the best deal available, but I just stuck with checking out existing Australian PC part outlets (and they are REALLY expensive down there!)
