VisionTek Xtasy GeForce4 MX 420 review

Sunday 5 December 2004, 6:35 AM

Excellent card for its price!

I bought this card two years ago when I still had my old computer. It's served me amazingly well, even to this day. I now have a more up to date system (Athlon XP 2800+ vs. my old Celeron 500MHz) and it still is a great card. I can run Halo with it at a 800X600 resolution with little to no hiccups in the framerate... impressive for an inexpensive two year old card. I'd reccomend it to anyone looking to do little to moderate gaming. If you want to run new games though, this might not be the card for you.

Verdict

This is not a card for hardcore gamers, but it provides sufficient performance for mainstream use, including older games. If you want faster graphics and TV-out capabilites, this is an inexpensive way of getting them.

So if you upgrade to XP SP3 you can't uninstall Internet Explorer, I'm quite sure I'm having a Deja-vu feeling about MS preventing people from uninstalling Internet Explorer in other Windows products.
