Is it worth it?
I have a eVGA nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440-8X Video Card, 64MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/Breakout Box Port/CATV, 8X AGP, Model "nVIDIA Personal Cinema(064-A8-NV88-AX)"
Chipset/Core Speed: nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440-8X/275MHz
Memory/Effective Speed: 64MB DDR/500MHz
BUS: AGP 4x/8x
Ports: Breakout Box Interface+DVI Connector+CATV In
Support 3D API: DirectX®7.1, OpenGL®1.3
Cable/Accessories: 2 Cables, Remote Control, RF Receiver, VGA via DVI Adapter, Breakout Box, 3 CD, Manual
Max Resolution@32bit Color: 2048X1536@60Hz
Retail Box (See pics for details)
And what I am looking at is....
SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9600PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-Bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "100561-GRN"
Chipset/Core Speed: ATI Radeon 9600PRO/400MHz
Memory/Effective Speed: 128MB DDR/600MHz
BUS: AGP 4X/8X
Ports: VGA Out(15 Pin D-Sub) + TV-Out (S-Video) + DVI
Support 3D API: DirectX 9, OpenGL 1.5
Max Resolution@32bit Color: 2048X1536
Cable/Accessories: S-Video Adapter, DVI to VGA Adapter, Driver CD
Do you guys think I should upgrade to this and if it will be worth it? I noticed a large difference in core speed and memory/effective speed, does that affect a cards graphics and fps rates making it worth while to upgrade?

Hi,
I'm also running a GeForce4 MX right now. If you can afford to spend a few more dollars, I would consider the 6600GT AGP 128MB. There are lots of benchmarks on the web.
It may be helpful to post the rest of your specs.

Dimension 8250
P4 2.4Ghz 533fsb
512MB PC1066 RDRAM
80GB Seagate 7200RPM
DVD-ROM
CD-RW
GeForce4 MX 420 64MB (soon replacing w/XFX GeForce 6600GT AGP 128MB)
Soundblaster Live 5.1
Dell PSU 250W
