I had the money problem too but have decided that maybe I should stop paying $400 a month on my car and pay the minimum of $116.94 a month.. That'* an extra 300 a month I can use to actually have some fun. I think you're right about the Geforce 4 MX... the card itself says Geforce 2 on it when you pop the case open. I can play need for speed just fine on it and many other games but Doom 3 looks a little jerky even on the lowest resolution setting and quality setting. It'* fine as long as you're just walking through the corridors, but as soon as a 'monster' jumps out the picture slows way down and it'* hard to aim at em'.
