There are big differences, plus now there are different types of GeForce MX's. Generally, the MX is quite crippled (which is the term used by pretty much everyone to describe it). But still it's cheap. Another poster had some descriptions, and also try the GideonTech.com site. "Iain Miller" <DoNot@spam.me> wrote in message news:9e9chl$f0n$1@newsg2.svr.pol.co.uk...

(MX & GTS with either 32 or 64Meg of RAM) Havn't figured out the difference between MX & GTS yet myself....is it the SDRAM vs DDR thing? Anyone able to chip in & explain & also suggest how fast the various cards are on a scale of 1-10 (and where would a GEForce 3 be in relation??) I.
