I’m thinking of buying a new Graphics Card soon. I don’t have the patience or money to buy a new Radeon or Nvidia.
I’m thinking of buying a
Leadtek WinFast A250 TD Geforce4 Ti 4400 (AGP) Retail (GX-002-LT)
£217.14 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk)
Or a
Gainward GeForce 4 Powerpack Ultra/700 XP Golden Sample AGP (Ti-4400 128MB DDR VIVO DVI+DVI) £213.85 (http://www.microdirect.co.uk/)

I need a card with excellent cooling (my system is quite hot 40 – 45 C)

Are these cards worth the money?
Should I try and wait for the next gen. of cards (not sure I can!)
Any other suggestions or recommendations?

Cheers

Athlon 1.4
KG7
512 DDR 2100

You can pick up a GF4 ti 4200 128 mb for nealy half that on www.ebuyer.co.uk mate. Is it worth that much extra for the little extra performance you would gain?

the 64mb version (which is arguably faster) is cheaper still :)

Erm... your probably right, however might get the 128 version?
Leadtek £150

i've got an Inno3d GF4 4200 128mb mate and its the dogs ... (for the money). Although the leadtek has had raving reviews

Does the card ever over heat? i've got a Geforce 2 GTS 64 DDR - i've had to take it out of the machine as it crashes the PC all the time - i think it over heats (screen displays three colour bars)
The leadtek has a couple of fans which i assume cools the card well...

Thanks for your comments / help
