I like the looks of the Xtasy 5864 for $85. I also think the 6564 is a great performer at $139.

I see that the 7500 is only $67 on Pricewatch.

There are tons of reviews for the 6564. I have mine overclocked past a Ti500 with stock cooling.

Well, with JBell's opinion;) It looks like a Geforce4 440. But I'm looking at the xtasy also.

So nvidia it is I guess...No bannage for meh!

So wich one be the better one MX or Xtasy?

I think the MX is just another version of the GeForce 2. I would go with either the G3 or G3 Ti200. You can't go wrong!

Which Voodoo do you have? I had a VD 2 and a Velocity 4400 hooked up together.

VD5 5500 A lot of people love that card, but I'm not having much luck with it. I want a true 64mg card anyway.

Another question. Hercules 3D Prophet II Ultra. Kinda cheap, but I've never use a prophet card before either...

Hercules makes good graphics cards. Used to be the best in the States before being bought up by the Canadians.
