[newbie] Video card upgrade

2002-10-13 Thread Smiley

I'd like to buy a new video card, keeping my current cpu and mainboard; I can
also upgrade my K6 II 400 to a K6 II 533, anyway...
GeForce 2 400mx and 3D Prophet (Kyro II) are sold at good prices near my home :)
Do you think does it worth such kind of upgrade?
I have little interest in 3D, I'm looking for good performance on 2D...

I really don't think you'll see a difference in performance with so
little processor power, but I don't have the numbers to prove it.  i
also think you'd be better off with more memory than a new K6.

IMHO stick with nvidia stuff

Kyro has had problems... for some it works fine tho... One person this list 
ordered a few of them.  He's happy.

Just my 2 cents
