GeForce 4 MX 420 PCI? (not a thread about the "GF4 MX&q
This is a discussion about GeForce 4 MX 420 PCI? (not a thread about the "GF4 MX&q in the Windows Hardware category; Okay, first of all this thread isn't about the GF4 MX name BS. For that, go. A friend of mine is thinking building a system based on the (a toaster sized computer) for LAN gaming and other portable applications.

A friend of mine is thinking building a system based on the Shuttle SV24 (a toaster sized computer) for LAN gaming and other portable applications.
The tiny Mobo, however has no AGP slot available. Anyone think that a manufacturer will make a PCI version of the GeForce4 MX 420? It would have the same memory bandwidth as a GeForce2 MX 400, of which there are many PCI versions. And if so, do you think it'll have DVI out?

I would say no they won't. Not many vid card manufacturers want to invest money in a PCI line because it has a negative return.
Additionally I suspect that since the PCI bus is shared with a lot of devices, the video cards are going to be getting far to crippled by it. However, money's definitely a bigger thing for them than a crippled card.
I think they will definetely make one for PCI. (Eventually) But the DVI output might be questionable since most PCI cards are bare bones. They will also be pretty hard to find, if even possible.
a price for the GEF4 PCI..
It was linked from here b4, altho I can't see it there now.
I'll do some more hunting.

Well, You're absolutely right.
All those with mobos without AGP ports--you now have another graphics option. With a $20 rebate even. Just be aware of the GeForce4 MX's actual features.
