The GeForce 4 MX

[tbaher]

@Play

"running it well" is very subjective ... to me it means that at the default settings in a game .. it runs with 30-40fps.. that means that you can up the detail all the way to max and still not drop below 20..
but it's not an FPS issue .. it's a graphics issue as well..
a pentium 2 can "accelerate" quake1 to the point where it's over 30fps..
so .. theoretically .. my CPU in software mode can run doom3 ..

i'm not even getting into FSAA and ASF .. bump maps and "out of focus" effects...

rationalize your MX to yourself all you wish .. it's still an MX ..
i'm glad you like it..

@Everyone else:
Since I have a 1-up attitude right now.. and you mentioned the amiga500.. here's my first computer experience: the IBM PC 8088 (XT) transportable..
yes it was an IBM .. and yes it was transportable.. that means that one person (unassisted) could lift it around..
it was an old computer that had a built in screen.. and yes we upgraded from 256k ram to 640k ram..
it cost around the price of a car..
it didn't have 8" floppy drives built in because everyone was using 5.25" and 8" was obsolete.. DOUBLE DENSITY was the bomb..
the whole thing turned into a suitcase looking item when the keyboard was closed..

UGH
