Crap.); what kind of performance increase in general would be seeing with a GeForce4 MX440 AGP (my 'board has an AGP slot, I just screwed up when buying my last card... <_< )? I don't need "OMG MY EYES ARE BLEEDING" graphics, but being able to run newer games (KOTOR I'm looking at you!) with some of the eye-candy actually turned on would be nice. I haven't looked at any ATI cards, but I'm by no means an NVIDIA fanboy, so any suggestions for a decent budget-priced card in that camp would be welcomed as well.The Gf4 MX line are more or less overclocked Gf2 cards with NO pixel shaders. So if any of the games you want require that (some new games do) a Gf4 MX card is a waste of money. A Gf3 card is a better low-cost investment since it has pixel shaders.
