Summary: Indeed good, but not great, and not the best.
Review: Thi is a good video card, not doubt, but it isn't really all that worthit.You wont be able to play up coming games like unreal II...doom III....etc.Thats why I am dreaming to upgrade to geforce4ti4600 but I dont have the money at the moment...:(.This video card was awfully fast in some game tests, like halflife and unreal...and descent3...and quake 3 arena and star trek elite force...but y'no those games are old...the new quake 3 team arena engine game jedi knight2 star wars jedi outcast isn't so good on a geforce 2 mx, you can't get such good performance when going to video quality high or higher.Normal video quality I most reccomend, and you cant go use any sort of antiliasing with out sacrifising the framrate.Geforce 2 mx is underpowered for todays games, not for older games.It works great with those.Even with the power of the pentium4 processor, it does make a difference, but in some areas still doesn't satisfie me.I would considerthe geforce 2 mx compared to todays video cards standard. I was going to get geforce 3, it is much better, but still will lagg alittle bit, all though is a heck of alot better than geforce 2 mx will ever be. But I really want geforce 4 ti4600, that is my dream video card.When I get the money, I will buy it.And I will see what everyone is talking about. Besides the point, geforce 2 isn't so good for games, I dont reccomend it to anygamer unless its older games and not current or future.:(

Summary: No fan on GPU, small overheat issue
Review: This card comes with SDR (slow memory) not good for overclockin.
ATI 7500 much better deal, for same price that includes DDR memory.
Overall is not a bad card, but slow for games!

Summary: Two Stars, One word:Lagg
Review: This is a nice little video card, NO matter what game I play in I experienece too much lagg, its too slow ... Its good for 2d games, thats it. And for the early 3d games. I tried the unreal II demo with it and it ran pretty slow. I wasnt satisfied. I also have a geforce 3, and it runs much smoother. THis is a not worth it video card unless your a light gamer or student comp type user. I really dont think its a good video card. and I can tell you 4 more words about buying this vid card:It aint worth it.Take my advice!

Summary: Not the best for gaming
Review: When I bought this card, I thought I was getting the best from last year at a low price. I was shocked at how poorly it actually performed. I "upgraded" to this card from a Voodoo2 PCI and can barely tell a difference in performance. In almost all 3d games, it has small hesitations (unexpected choppiness) when trying to deal with fast graphics. It's not like the predictable rythmic choppiness of cheap cards. This makes real-time game-play impossible as it stops the processing momentarily, as if somebody's hitting a "pause" button.

After I installed this card under Windows ME, the entire systems seems to be having problems. The system seems to get slower the longer it stays running. After a few days without rebooting, there's a 10-15 second delay on simple tasks like double clicking on a folder. After a reboot, it's back to normal. I did not have these problems before installing the card. I have a 1.4 ghz Pentium 4 machine with 640 mb RAM, so it's not the system itself.

I cannot get it to run some of the older games at all, like Monster Truck Madness and Quake II. They just lock up and won't respond on startup.

Don't waste your money on this thing. For a good "not-the-newest-technology" graphics option, go for a Voodoo 4500 or 5500 or just spend the extra $$ and get a Geforce 3.
