Rating: Summary: Upgrade Blues Review: The 3D Prophet is not a prophet at all but just another fake. I say that since it did not live up to the hype. The compatability is limited to only those who have agp 2.0. Those of us who use agp 1.0 are out of luck. The card is not compatible with some of the most popular games. Running Half-Life found that crashes would be a menace. Installation was a snap. The only highlight of this story.
Rating: Summary: Best for those on a budget Review: This card is the best bang for the buck. The Geforce2 MX is based on the core of the Geforce2 GTS. The only major difference is that it only has two rendering pipelines versus the four in the GTS and the original Geforce for that matter. But the Geforce2 MX is pretty much as strong of a performer as the original Geforce video cards. Furthermore, with only two rendering pipelines it only consumes half the power of the GeForce2 GTS and one-fourth the power of the original GeForce. That can be quite good for someone who has a lot of peripherals on his or her computer or just has a low power supply. A word of note: adequate power is essential to use the most modern video cards. A 250 Watt power supply on an AGP 2.0 compliant computer is probably the minimum you can get away without having your 3D games lock up on you during intensive game playing. Otherwise, this card will give you all the features that it's more expensive GTS cousin has without breaking your pocketbook.
Rating: Summary: Good choice for Gamers Review: This card rocks, you can't beat it for the money. It's fast, images are crisp and it will handle about whatever you can throw at it! I strongly recomend it.
Rating: Summary: Great Card for the Price Review: When a friend of mine asked me to help him install thisgraphics card on his computer and found out [what he paid for it] I thought...ok why not....but then when we played a quick game of Quake 3, and Unreal Tournament, I was amazed by the speed and quality of the crisp graphics. I was really impressed to find out it was GeForce 2 technology, especially for the price. I immediately went out after that and bought this card and am so glad that I did. I had no problems installing this card on my Pentium 3, 450 MHZ computer w/ Windows ME. I had no problems installing the drivers and would recommend to anyone who buys this card to go to the Hercules website and download the newer drivers. Unreal Tournament, and Quake 3 both look great on this card. The resolutions even looked great at 1000x700 resolution with all of the 3D effects on. While it doesn't have TV out or even a bundle of games with it this card supports Direct 3D and Open GL If you have a computer that is over a year old and are looking to upgrade graphics card this is the one for you. If you're on a budget and want to upgrade your graphics card this card is also for you.
