Which GeForce to buy?
Hi, I hope to gather some opinions and info here. I've finally decided to bite the bullet, ditch my Voodoo 4 4500 and get something made by Nvidia. (Decision hastened by the 3dfx corrupted menus bug in NASCAR 4 and NASCAR 2002.

Unfortunately, I have a limited budget, in and around the $100 range. What would be more desirable between a GeForce 3 Ti200 and a GeForce 4 MX440? They're roughly the same in price now. Both have 64MB of DDR RAM, a 400mhz memory clock, 6.4GB/s memory bandwidth. Any advantages one would have over the other? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'd take the GF3 Ti200 over any card with MX in the name.
All of the MX's are gutted, all the best parts of the card removed so it is sold as a budget solution.
The GF3 Ti200 is a full blown card.
I'm sure others will offer different suggestions though.

Well if I'd know your budget was $140 and not the originally quoted $100 then I too would have made such a suggestion
Near 50% increase in budget does kind of make your choice wider.

Hehe... you're right, it is a bit higher. I just didn't even bother to look at the 4 Series Ti cards, as I thought them WAY out of my price range, like $100 higher. (I should really know better than to assume. ) $140 with free shipping is in striking distance, though, so I'll just take a couple more weeks to get the cash together. It's worth it, for that card.
Thanks for the help, everyone.

Good choices, I have a Geforce4 Ti4400, and it rocks.. I just hope that Doom 3 will be "playable" on this card... At an acceptable quality/resolution anyway...
The GTS really isn't a bad card, I have a Geforce2 ti in my secondary system... Granted, no pixel shaders, but it's a good card, you can pick them up for about $50 US new...
