I got crappy one.

GeForce 2 MX (32 MB)

I had to download Forceware for it like a coupla months back 2 play the latest games.

Thank god, Call of Duty worked.

And I heard Condition Zero and Half-Life 2's minumum video RAM is atleast 16. SO I think I'm good.

(For the time being)

That's not true. Half life will be able to run on a Geforce 2 card. It simply won't look very good and won't have any bells and whistles available.

Doom 3 on the other hand....that will require very good cards to run at all I think

Nice.
GeForce 2 is not a crappy card. It is actually better than the 3rd version. GeForce 2 will work on any FPS high resolution game. But, you will need to install DirectX 9.0 for enchanced grafics.

It won't lag really, you 'll just have to turn down all the graphical settings and make it look like a piece of crap. But it should run fine as far as framerate is concenered.

Well I do have DX 9b.

And did I mention it's actually a GeForce 2 MX 100/200 card, hmmm?

Well doesn't make a diffrence, rather get crap than nothing at all. I can't miss Half-Life 2.

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (128 MB) not too shabby, I'd say. Not the most powerful, but beats my old Geoforce 2 TNT (32MB)

Of course it does right now, they're comparing nvidias new technology to ATI's technology of last year. ATI will be coming out with new technology shortly, that will almost definately destroy nvidias new stuff.

Also, the tests in 3d Mark 2001 are pretty close if you ask me. (I don't really pay attention to 3d mark 03, it isn't a good benchmark). The new nvidia only beats out the old ATI by 3000 points on 2001, nothing very special on that one.

Anyways, we'll see what happens when ATI releases their new big daddy. Because if the past few years are any indication, ATI is the new king of the video cards.
