 |

I'm building a new machine for office use. Nothing fancy, just a
reliable machine for office work. Could you look over my parts list
before I actually order the parts in case I've messed up on something
here? Thank you VERY much in advance.

I can not see why anyone would purchase a MX400 video card. In the
Present day ATI makes the best video cards. Suggest a Radeon 9200
video card. You do not need that large a power supply to run a punky
little video card. Nothing really wrong with that video card but it
is old technology. Try looking at
www.tomshardware.com
Or look at this VGA Comparison Chart.
It is a bit old but it has a similar card to the one you plan on
buying.

For what the OP stated, as their intended use of the machine, there is
absolutely nothing wrong with their choice of videro adaptor.

This machine will be used primarily for running Microsoft Office and
that's about it. That's why I really don't want to spend much on a
video card if I don't need to.

Thanks for the advice, I did find the 9200 that you recommended for
under $50 at Newegg.com and ordered it. That's pretty comparable
price-wise with the MX400 and your links did show a considerable
performance difference between the two cards. Thanks again.
