At least you avoided the GeForce4 MX's, they weren't very good and unless I'm mistaken the GeForce3 Ti 200 was able to outperform it.

Which games were of choice back in the day of the Geforce 2 MX that made having the card worthwhile?

 

I know there were games like Half Life and the first Deus Ex around then but those are the obvious ones and I played them a few years later, back at that time I pretty much exclusively played Age of Empires 1 and 2 and my system was a Pentium 2 based machine with motherboard graphics from SiS, and AOE games were pretty much the limit of what it was capable of playing.

I love this thread, I've googled and seen/learned about so much hardware I never knew anything about before.

 

All I can say is damn, PCs have exploded through the roof in terms of power in just a handful of years, the rate of advancement seems so very slow now compared to what has happened before, having seen those huge industrial harddrives with just a couple of GB inside to a 2.5'' drive that's faster and contains over a thousand times more data while being a fraction of the price...
