I don't know which one to pick, cause I need to get a good PC for a good Price.
Here's the deal, is there that much difference between these two cards.
- ASUS V9280TD Geforce4 Ti4200 128MB 128 bit AGP 8X TV-OUT & DVI RETAIL (150$)
Vs
-Asus V9180TD 64MB Geforce 4 MX440 DDR **AGP8X** (85$)
Is it really a good choice to jump up to the Ti42000 will it really matter ?

Go with the geforce ti4200. It is a far superior gaming video card to the mx440. If you can afford it, the ati radeon 9500 pro is about the best value right now.

If you are a gamer go for the ATi 9500 Pro or even the 9500.

Stay away from any card with the suffix MX or you will regret it, trust me.

The Fire GL is not a gaming card, it's a graphics workstation card.
