Personally I am not sure which cards are actually produced with PCI alternatives. I heard a rumor that the newest ones (GeForce4's atleast) were not made for PCI connections.
I could be wrong though. SOmeone here must know for sure. |

Hi Garou,
Your best choice would be a PNY GF4 MX420 card ($100 @ NewEgg), that's the fastest PCI card available. |

My GF4 MX440 (AGP) can handle all those games you listed with no problems whatsoever. The MX420 is slightly less capable, and being PCI will make some slight difference too I'm sure, but neither will amount to much of a difference I think. I'd recommend the GF4 MX series to anyone that wants decent performance without spending piles of cash.

Hehehe, we went on vacation for a week. Just got home last week.
Anyway, I guess after owning a couple of ATI cards, I'm just not impressed. They somehow never seem to live up to their potential. But, in most things, the MX440/460's come out slightly ahead of the 7500. I'm not sure how they compare pricewise. In all honesty, they are proably about even. I'm just personally leaning toward Geforces. |

Its out of stock too but its expected arrival is Monday http://direct.mwave.com/mwave/ProdVG...odVGA-PNY.hmx? HTH
