edited September 2004 in Hardware
Dell dimension 2100, 128MB SDRAM PC133, 20GB HDD, 900MHz Celeron, intel 810 onboard graphics. I want to upgrade the graphics to a geforce2 mx400 64mb PCI Tvout card, but have a 145W PSU. I really wnat the card so I can play NFS underground & GTA Vice City. Will it work. Thanks !!

    Why not get a lower end radeon? As long as you dont get an se you will be ok i think.. Almost any pci card i think will run on the powersupply.. Stay away from geforce mx/fx series if you can..

    you need a full upgrade, bottom line
    a geforce 2, especially an MX card, is not going to help you

    I agree with TheBaron's assesment.....a full upgrade is your best bet.....however if you just want a video card, you will need at least an ati 9600 series or nvidia 5600/5700 series for the 2 games you want to play.

    I have tried to play both games on geforce fx5200, and it's near impossible. So anything lower like a geforce 2/4 mx whatever won't cut it.
