Graphics card
 

not lookin for a professional graphics card here, im just looking for a gainward geforce 4, which one would you recommend? cos there are so many of them!

I've seen guides where you can turn an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro into a FireGL pro card.

not interested in 3d graphics cards :) not yet anyway, besides, i dnt believe in hacking gfx cards

It's me again Nem :)
I got a leadtek gforce 4 TI 4200 128mb 8xAGP with VIVO. Reason, well I'm sure you'll get this answer if you've posted a t cgtalk.com also. It's the more affordable one and you'll see minimal speed on the 4400 and 4600 for the amount of their price.

I know you're asking about the gainsward, but hopefully it'll help.
Are you planning on buying a custom built pc?

yeah im plannin on buildin my own computer, i was going to get an FX but not anymore, now i think i might get a 4600 cos money isnt that big of an issue (i was going to get a £400 gfx to start with!)

Ah.. great.

thanks for that link by the way george :) sorry, just got a bit into the FX thing, was excited for a wee bit :) but ive recovered :)
