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.
