Under $40...
The GF4 MX maybe, the GF4 MX 440 still is easily available, don't
expect wonders, but does a nice job!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

I beg to differ. The GF4 MX440 is hard to get a good one. They make so
many versions. Most only have a 64 bit memory bus and are junk. They are
clocked all over the place. They are like a box of chocolates. You never
know what you're gonna get!
GF3 cards can be had for under $40 on ebay. Not only are they faster than
the MX440, they support DX8 features. Also they are made to exacting
specifications (only three versions), clockings and they all have 128 bit
DDR memory.

Mmm, if that is true an GF3 .. ti 200.. maybe even an ti 500 will
indeed ben an option. Never knew there was such much idiocy around
the MX440. It's a card that only is put in cheap ass pc's anyway or in
pc's of those who don't know what they buy!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Best value pre FX card then. |

Keep whatever you have.
What DO you expect to get for $40?

I have a really old card that is no good for much more than 2D.

Something that will give me decent 3D for some legacy games until
either I can afford, or the price comes down on the better cards now.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Best value pre FX card then. |

Youre trying to get a lot out of $40...
Look for a used GF3 card for about $30 would be your best bet... or a
GF4-MX card for about $20.
