Ati Radeon Xpress 200?

[Insunna]

I have a friend who got this video card when he purchesed his new computer. But this is not one that i'm familiar with. Is this a good card? How much would this cost? Is it PCI AGP or PCI-E Whats it's comparitive to a Geforce?

no, it's not a video card. It's a chipset

 

[The_Other_One]

Joe, you're correct and incorrect. It's a chipset but it has onboard video as well

All in all, it's horrible video. I mean it's ok, but definetly not for gamming.

Oh yeah, and it's a PCI-Express chipset. It should have a PCI Express slot in there.

yeah, I know, but he said "video card". sorry, I didn't know if he knew it was onboard or not. but haha, but wheather or not you consider it a "video card" or not, it's got horrifying quality for a games.

Onboard video, utterly useless for most forms of gaming. It can't even manage to stay above 60fps in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Even my old GeForce2MX can do that.

He paid $1100 for:

160 GB HD
1G ram
15" Flat panel monitor
P4 2.9 w/ HT
and the Xpress 200 for his GPU.


I laughed.

eh, its not that bad (the computer)

 

[The_Other_One]

Yeah, that's not TOO bad...

 

[Insunna]

I spent 800 on mine. Compared to what i got, and what he got. He got ripped.

 

[The_Other_One]

Yeah, mine was about $680 without a monitor... That's shipped and with taxes.
