Improvement?

I run a geoforce 2 mx 400 on a p4, 2gig, 768RD ram. Will a ATI 9800pro
improve my experience? I really only play Counter-Strike and plan on buying
Counter-Strike: Source when it's out.

It will make a HUGE difference.

Improve your experience is something of an understatement. The 9800 Pro has
10 times the bandwidth.

Are you kidding? I upgraded from _GF3 Ti200_ to _9600pro_
and still noticed _massive_ improvement in every game, so your
improvement should be _gigantic_ :-)

A Geforce 3 would be an improvement! Need I say more?

Sure the card is ALOT faster. Just be sure yr powersupply is powerful
enough... (300 if it's a decent brand, 350 if it's not)

It will be a different world in terms of GFX my friend.

Sure, its A LOT faster. But, if your planning to play CS only
get a cheap gf 4 ti4200 and pay no more then 50 bucks. For the newer
games (Far Cry,Doom3...) the 9800 sure is the best on the market now though.

Any ATi or Nvidia based card, with a chipset
released within the last year or so, priced
over $100 at a competitive online store,
will provide a huge boost over that card.
Even some of the ones below $100 are
going to be far better.

If you want to stay below the $250 mark,
you might also consider waiting for the LE
version of the Nvidia 6800 series. The 6800s
look very good right now, though the current
models are $300-600. The sweet one is
the GT model, at about $400, if you can find it available.
The LE ones should be about half that, and are due
within the next few months.

My preferred Nvidia vendors: Leadtek, Gainward,
eVGA, in that order. Preferred online shop: Newegg,
Newegg, Newegg, in that order! g
