what I have found under 45
is
Mx4000
FX5200
9200se
9200
9250

whats the best card outa all these
i'm thinking th 1 FX but it has lower core and same memory speed as The MX
but it has 128 over 64

so what do you think

 

[YiffyGriffy]

methinks a good $45 card doesn't exist...
I dunno, but I guess I'd go for the FX5200 just cause I think it's the newest.

Whats the specs on the 9250?

 

[Lando95]

I think the 9250 will probably outperform the 5200, not positive on that one though.

Aint it funny that whenever a question arises about hardware that is anything but cutting edge we are all clueless...well i am anyway

 

[YiffyGriffy]

It actually is pretty funny...
I'm willing to bet all those cards are really within 10% of each other.

 

[Inquisitor]

... yea thats why i'm asking... my aunts new computer is being built an I am trying to make the best buget pc ever... for web browsing, aim and WMP

 

[adas]

id go for the 5200, because i know that the 9200 series dont have DX9 support. thats my opinion

 

[Inquisitor]

5200 it is

 

[YiffyGriffy]

Not like you need a whole lot of video processing power anyway...PCI or integrated video probably would've worked fine

 

[adas]

lol...but then that wouldnt make the best budget system ever

Lol...what's REALLY funny is that all those cards were $500-600 in their day. My, how the mighty have fallen.

I don't think a 5200 has ever cost more than $60 in its life time... These are all budget cards, now what he really needs is this fine Vodoo 3 I have...
