Is it any good, and are the prices around $100 I've been hearing about correct?
I want to get one to integrate into my system because I need a graphics card. I've got one, but it's kind of old... only 11mb of memory. :o
BTW, I'm on a 500mhz Celeron processor, Win 98 S.E. with 96 megs of RAM (Soon to be upgraded!).
Go HERE to nvidia (

This antique thread caught my eye because I just restored an old pre-XP computer to service to run Windows95 and Windows98 games, and I chose that very video card (I think even the very brand) to go with it. The old PC maxed out at 384 MBs of RAM, because I couldn't put my hands on any low density 256 MB SDRAMs for it.
When I was assembling the system, I initially used a Leadtek GF4 Ti-4200 that came to hand first, but it was having its own problems. I'd planned to use a GF2 GTS, but didn't have an HSF that would fit that one, and its old fan had died (the Ti-200 also needed its fan replaced, but I had no major trouble in finding one for it).
It would have been overkill, same as the Ti-4200 would've been, if my GF3 Ti-500 had showed up, but it stayed in hiding. Those GF3s were nice VGA cards back in '02, though! It's got a Duron CPU, but a lot faster one than the OP's Celeron . .
Amazingly enough, so did i.
I love it, it's perfect for old stuff. Powerfull, but not so powerful as to not be compatible with older games.
Haha, just got an email. This is an old thread! Memories :)
