As some of you may know, I've got a crappy GeForce2 MX400, which was brilliant 2 1/2 years ago but is now useless. I'm hoping to retire it soon. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

I have a Radeon 9600. No idea whether it's SE or XT so I just picked one randomly. And I don't know where it is, it just came with the PC.

Integrated graphics card...yuck...but at least it can handle Elder Scrolls III...haven't tried it with anything newer, but I know that it just doesn't have the capacity to crank up view distance...which is a shame 'cuz my processor is pretty quick...

Hey Memmy, who says GeForce2 MX400 is crappy?! Works fine for me...well, it runs BG2 and Morrowind(though just barely)! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Though I must admit, im changing for a Geforce4 within the next few weeks...

I've got 9600XT and my integrated is 4200Titanium, which is really unexpected for my MBO. All my games are flying at warp 9 and the graphics experience is unbeleiveable. I'm like this because I've got this new PC about three months ago, and before that I had Duron 800 w/ Voodoo 3 3000. The last two months of the old PC I had what Memnoch has today, and I now know the jump in technology between three years ago and now.

Well, I was happy with my GeForce2 MX400 until I started visiting www.tomshardware.com, www.3dguru.com, and so on - where I found out that my card is actually crappy as hell. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

128 megGeForce4 Ti 4200 for me. I'm not really interested in running everything with all the details turned up and so far it's been able to cope with everything I've thrown at it.

I did try an experiment with KotOR and turned all the settings up. The framerate dropped to a snails pace for very little extra graphical benefit.

I've got a NVidia TNT2 32 MB in my AGP slot. Well as long as it runs what I want OK I won't get another one yet unless it breaks or something.
