Roughly two years ago NVIDIA introduced their GeForce line of video accelerators with integrated transformation and lighting. The gaming world has not been the same since. On February 6th in San Francisco NVIDIA launched the latest technology in the form of the GeForce4 line of accelerators.

So, I'm a bit confused. Would there be any improvement in the fps of my existing games if I went from a GEForce2-MX (which I have now) to a GEForce4-MX? Or will this only help with the performance of cutting edge future releases?

Yes, you would notice a very good improvement with your current games.

But you might be better spending the money on GF3 Ti200 and thus also getting some future proofing.

Any mention of minimum processor specs for those cards Len? I'd be curious at how much improvement I would see with my 1Gig Athlon, GeForce 2 system.
I know I emailed you about this, but I figured maybe you've come by new info since then.
Cheers

No, this is one area that it is going to take some hands on time to get a clear sense of direction. Hopefully by the end of February I can give some answers.
