just got a msi geforce4 ti 4200 8xagp

KINDRED · March 11th, 2003

i heard that this card is alright but i was wondering what you guys think i upgraded from a msi gf4 mx 440 and the difference isnt that much but the price wasnt that much either so personaly i think i did a good move and im happy but im the kind of person that when it come to computers i get second thoughts about everything so i need youre imputs good move or what?

March 11th, 2003

I would say that it is a very good move. You should find that the 4200 will "outstrip" the mx 440 in everthing. If you got it at a resonable price as well, then that is another plus. I think you did the right, proper, and smart thing. Enjoy your new card.

sincerely,

KINDRED · March 11th, 2003

uppercase'ness what does this mean (caps) if thats it i got told already sorry i didnt now that it was such a problem

Hanamichi · March 11th, 2003

With the new card you'll be able to enjoy DX8 graphical features, and it runs much faster as well. Definately a good buy if the price was right, how much did it cost anyway?

Chinoz · March 11th, 2003

Don't bother with the 8x AGP if you're stuck on budget.
Btw, 12si is against geforce 4 ever since he got his r9500pro

KINDRED · March 11th, 2003

im happy with it but some games im still paging is this the card or my sys
i traded with a buddy and i know the guy that sold it to me so about $200 canadian thats like $140 american or something

I know how you feel man.. That's how I fealt when I didn't have the money to upgrade my comp and was stuck with a lowly amd k6-2 533 mhz cpu.. But now that I do have money to upgrade stuff, I realize my feelings were wrong.. People have the right to enjoy spending their money, even if it seems a little excessive to buy upgrades that don't make a lot of difference..

But remember that these new barton core athlon Xp chips are clocked higher, and have higher clocked FSB(333mhz), and perform noticeably better than what SX and I use to have.. I actually see a noticeable improvement in my emulated and PC games with my new cpu..

KINDRED · March 11th, 2003

do you think i should change an amd ? i have a p4 1.6a how much would the diferrence be aniways in price and in performance

**Kane** · March 11th, 2003

Depends what speed AMD you get. AMD is the best bang for buck in the low and mid range. If you want High end, Intel is currently king.

KINDRED · March 11th, 2003

I think i should change because in the future if i want to upgrade it will cost me ----like if i change my intel for an intel i would be spending a few hundreds (trade in) but if i get an amd upgrade it would cost me alot less
im checking with my buddy at a store but these guys always mark up allkinds anyway if i do anyting it wouldent be in awhile

**Demigod** · March 12th, 2003

If I had a P4 1.6A I would overclock it. At 133 Mhz FSB it'll be at 2.1 Ghz. The P4 'A's are easy to overclock, as they run on a slower 100 Mhz FSB. Just a friendly suggestion

Aleksei (St) · March 12th, 2003

atlons are a cheaper option if you want
but if you have a pentium 4 northwood
you shoul really consider oveercloking

KINDRED · March 12th, 2003

yeah i think im going to but i got to buy a heat sink any suggestions

March 12th, 2003

Thanks for the apology KINDRED. As fivefeet8 said, there is a noticable improvement w/the new barton core AMD CPU. To me, that was not spending money needlessly, the speed and performance I am now getting are well worth the price. I don't have Unreal 2, but when I test some others that I have, I'll let you know how they do.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

KINDRED · March 12th, 2003

do you know how much faster youres is compared to mine Im going to over clock mine @2100 i just need a heatsink
that wont happen again it was my first day yesterday and i got carried away

Chinoz · March 12th, 2003

Hey try not to get an AMD now.
Heard they ain't no longer using socket A's (rite rite??)
Maybe wait for the new sockets to come out, then consider
Btw, yeah p4's are sweet for overclocking. Don't bother with a new cpu upgrade. Just o/c it.

The Athlon 64 will be on a new socket. The last of the K7 cores will remain on Socket A

KINDRED · March 12th, 2003

screwit ill just overclock it--because i have to change the mother and processor and i dont have the money for that
but there so much cheper in the long run aaaahhhh i dont know what to do
