I noticed CompUSA has a Mad Dog GeForce4 Ti 4200 64MB on sale/rebate for $79.99. What reputation does Mad Dog have as a video card manufacturer? I still don't think I'm buying a new card until maybe Summer time, but this price sure caught my eye.
Here's a review of that card SSquared: http://www.3dxtreme.org/maddog_4200_p1.shtml I would seriously consider that card, that is a very good deal, cheaper than my Geforce3 was, which I got for only 89.00 bucks.
Yes, all Nvidia based cards will work with the Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia site.
I'm with these people. If you're getting an nVIDIA or an ATI card, grab the detenators or the catalysts respectively. The manufacturers drivers are normally junk in comparison.
