gf4 mx4000 or ati R9200SE

[rupert86]

Advices plz:

One of our customer's is getting am MSI KT6-Delta-LSR + Barton 2500+. The customer is a casual gamer.

We have two options for him:

1. GeForce 4 MX4000 by Aopen. (This one is particularly plated w/ some noble metal for Anti-corrosion).

2. Radeon 9200SE (note the SE) by Sapphire.

Both cards are 64MB & fanless designs. I couldn't get hold on their model nos. though.

BTW: What's the difference b/w GeForce 4 MX400 & MX440 & MX4000.

P.S: It looks like there's a difference of a cipher .

mx4000 is basically mx440 with slightly boosted clocks and agp 8x support. Same core(dx7), same 64bit interface.

9200SE is a never part, based on 8500, so it supports dx8(mx doesnt), but still has 64bit interface.

I'd suggest at least 9200 vanilla or 9550/9600 nonpro cards(dx9), because 64bit memory cripples the performance horribly
