I think it's the Prolink, obscure as the brand may be. But if you REALLY need the tech support, the Chaintech one may be the better choice.

[shinji^]

I vote for the Chaintech.

[Ali]

I'v got one, get one.

[Recca]

but doesn't the prolink have better specs:confused:

[Shiori]

Its core and memory is clocked higher, which is always a good thing.

So then wouldn't the Prolink be a better choice

[hoyoyo80]

See my first post on this thread.

[Ultragunner]

go get the pro link one. it is just like Gainward which ships the gfx cards overclocked.

[Sampah]

Prolink product usually is an economic version, his graphics card price are cheap however you won't get much bonus from him, you'll just get a manual, a TV out cable and a CD driver, without any games or else. But if you want A good looking one graphics card, Chaintech is your choice, but rumor says that Chaintech is a little bit slow when using a denotator from NVIDIA.
Pixelview Geforce4 MX440 has two types, one is standard version(with core speed 275 and memory speed 400) and another one is lite version/Ultra RAM version(290/440), difference between the price is very little, but eh... I buy this Ultra RAM version and the core clock is still on 270/400 don't know why, I thought I was been cheated at first time but when I ask people in VIA arena forum they said I'm not cheated but it use for overclocking, well I dare not to try to set it to 290/440, who knows it will explode...

[Player-X]

I prefer MSI

[Recca]

Got some more money so now i have another competitor

Point of View GeForce3 TI200 TV-Out
Max Resolution: 2048 x 1536 pixels
Memory: 128MB DDR-RAM
Chip: nVIDIA GeForce3 TI200
RAMDAC: 400MHz
Type: AGP x2 / x4

Palit Microsystems Daytona GeForce3 TI200 TV-Out

[Ultragunner]

get any of the two. a geforce 3 is a very good graphics card.

[Shadow Lady]

BTW get the point view one, sems better to me

not that is hard, but it doesnt deserve any credit, they are just a little cheaper than a GF4ti 4200, so whats the deal? :P

Recca, since you have some more money I would reccomend that you get either one of the GF3 TI 200 cards and forget about the GF4 MX 440. The GF3 TI is a more powerful and better card than the GF4 MX.
hoyoyo80, you are asking why it is so hard to find the GF4 MX 460? Well the answer is that Nvidia has discontinued the GF4 MX 460. The cards weren't selling that well so Nvidia decided to drop them. More people were buying the GF4 MX 420 and 440 or the GF3 TI 200 and 500. This is why the GF4 MX 460 has been discontinued. It also looks like the GF4 TI 4400 is going to go the same way. There are many more 4200s and 4600s being sold. The 4400 just doesn't seem to be able to "cut" it, just like the MX 460.

Well, it depends on the place, in my place Geforce4 MX440 is cheaper than Geforce3 ti200, I can get Geforce4 MX440 for around $60 to $70 however Geforce3 ti200 in my place cost like hell, around $140 to $200, I think people in Indonesia will never able to buy Geforce3 ti500 or higher since the Rupiah currency is very weak.

[Recca]

Wich company is better
Innovision or Point of View
This is my final question before buying my GF3ti200

[AtomicFeline]

Are both cards priced the same?

Does Prolink have a website? If it does, check it out. If the website is poorly done then it could be a hint into the "habits" that the company may be known for.

[hoyoyo80]

ooo...i never knew that the same brand will cut off their own market...
