i know there are some gamers out here and just needed some help deciding on a vid card...just to let you know, i won't buy anything other than nvidia and no, i'm not going to get the VisionTek Xtasy 128 DDR AGP card...$400 is out of my price range...well, any input would help...

A good place that I go to that has the lowest prices I have ever seen is:

www.pricewatch.com

It is a site that finds and gets special prices from several venders.  Real cheap they have GeForce4's, depending on the one you want, from $105-425

I used to have a Visiontek GeForce3 64MB DDR when they first came out...BLEH...I didn't like it...I'm using a ATI Radeon 8500 64MB DDR right now and I've had no problems and it's a badass card.  I've been through quite a few cards, and this is the best by far...

how about a GeForce 2 MX400 with 64mb and tv out? I can get you a good price on that. (the brand is E-VGA i believe).

Arcane: How do you overclock a video card?  I know what and how to overclock a processor, but not a video card.  What does overclocking do to it?
