WarcraftIII vs GeForce4 MX 420

[AlexDX]

I wanted to build a new beast, but ill have to wait some
time because Im lacking ca$h...
Im thinking about a temporary solution to be able to play
WIII or Hot Pursuit 2 etc...

The thing is that I don't have an AGP slot :eek: damn.
I know the MXs are slow (specially the pci 420 with slow SDRAM)
but I have no choice hehe.

So do you think that with:
PII 300
320 mb SDRAM
and GeForce 4 MX 420

Ill be able to play WarcraftIII with good graphics and
NO slowdown???

I would just wait until you have the cash and buy the good stuff. Buying a new card will just prolong your wait. You won't be happy with the slow game anyway. With your current setup I would most likely say that yes it will be slow.

Warcraft III requires a PII 400.
Put the cash toward your new build.

And stay away from MX cards when you build. They just don't cut it in games. I don't know if WIII uses nVidia's xEngine II, but I can tell you that the GF MX line of cards don't support it so you won't be able to enjoy it or take advantage of it.

wait for your next build. I played wc3 with a P3 500 and voodoo3 3000 16mo and it was kinda slow and graphics were mediocre. with my p3 800@975 and geforce2 gts 32mo it's working like a charm :)
