Thats because your A500 was a rootin tootin bad boy :)
Mine was the father,your's the Bas**rd off spring ;)

I agree, I believe the whole MX line was designed for office use more so gaming. The MX offered enough power to power up traditional 2d-3d renderings using in programs like Power Point and Word, and Publisher.

They were and still are cheap today, my father has one and it plays most games fine but he uses it for office programs.

Like mentioned before, if you want a gaming card, stick with non MX cards if you're going the nVidia way.

I want to think nvidia was unclear. I like to believe that the box said that it's "good for gaming" on the box.
I switched to nvidia after 3dfx's voodoo5. (got a 4600)
I reluctantly then switched to radeon (got a 9800)

I dislike nvidia for the mx line.

Well I'm glad some of us has had good luck with ATI.

After my Voodoo 3 aged to death I switched to one of ATI's 3d Rage Pro cards, as soon as I installed it, it messed everything up! I called ATI's tech support and all they did was give me a link to their newest drivers which fuced up the display even more!!

That's when I said, screw it, I'm getting a Geforce 3 Ti 200, and never had problems with nVidia since then. I now have one of their rarest cards ever made, the FX 5950 ULTRA, never will you see this card in stock again! :cool:
