Hello,
I am very confused right now,I need a PCI video card for my dad's P2 box I found a VisionTek GeForce2 MX200 32MB PCI at tigerdirect but shipping price is at a crazy $10 bucks!and tigerdirect is only like a couple of hours away!  http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?sku=V261-2600 the other card I found is a EVGA TNT2 32M 032-P1-NV09-S1 RETAIL BOX. for $37 at newegg with free shipping http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...2+32M+032%2DP1 which is better?If anybody found a good deal on a 32mb or higher PCI video card,please post the link... |

Hi,
What is the system being used for? If it's just simple word processing/office tasks and surfing the internet, either one of those will be fine. |

The GF2 is far superior to the TNT2 for gaming.

I see,I wonder why Tiger Direct's shipping rate is so outragous,or is it?

I doubt Ghost Recon will be playable on either of those cards; it's a system hog.

It runs half decent with the lowest settings on my TNT2 so I imagine it would run decent on a GeForce 2mx.

If your dad wants to game on that box, get him to pry his wallet open and get a GF4 MX or a Radeon 9000, those are the 2 hottest PCI video cards available.
