Good card for around 150-200 bux Canadian?
Lol. Ok here's the thing.
My bro has my old 733 mhz PIII CPU and a junky Geforce 4 MX 420 card which I am too terrified to overclock that I don't even want to bother (the freaking thing is so small!! and it lacks any sort of stock cooling!!)
Anyhow If i upgrade the CPU then im gonna hafta get a new Mobo to facilitate the P4 architecture, and you get the idea..it'll cost a lot of $$.
So I've got a 30 dollar Canadian gift certificate for Best Buy (Hell yeah!) and I'm willing to fork out another hundred and twenty or so dollars and I'm just wondering what would be the BEST card i could get for this price, which could be O/Ced easily and safely for good performance (Battlefield 1942 is all we really play. so i just want some manageable frame rates).
Should I be looking at the Radeon lineup (9600, 9200 etc)
OR!
The Geforce FX 5200 (I've heard it's DECENT cus of its DX9 support, but screw that I just want raw speed mostly over fancy features...so what should I go for?)
I'm not sure If freaking best buy even still sells any G4 TI cards but i've heard they rock.
Suggestions for a cheap man?
