Graphics card for A7V133 & 1.2 TBird

[Guest]

I'm putting together a system with an Asus A7V133 mobo and 1.2 GHz Thunderbird. I had planned on using an Nvidia GeForce 2 MX chipset graphics card, but saw somewhere that reviews have shown this combination will result in the video card becoming a bottleneck for the system. Any comments or suggestions? Can anyone point me to these reviews? Thanks in advance.

very strange that some body will put atalon 1.2 gig system togezer and will be tinking about the mx card, very strange...

Very rapidly, you will find out the mx just doesn't seem to get the job done. You can easily get max performance out of an Ultra 64 Geforce 2, from your cpu/motherboard.
If you overclock any, I bet you can max out the new Geforce3, but I don't know that for sure......
