Which is a better card GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP8X or Geforce 6600 GT AGP4X/8X? I'll be putting one or the other in a Dell Dimension 4600.

Thank you.

The 6600 is 2 generations and then some ahead of the 440. There's no comparison to be made.

So if I pull the 6600 from my Dell 8300 and put in a GeForce 7800GS AGP, then pull the GeForce 4 MX 440 from my Dell 4600 and put in the 6600, I'll be doing good?

Thank yopu.

There have been some issues with 8000 series dells and 7800 GS cards, but other than that, yeah, it'd be a big upgrade all around.

What issues would that be? I have heard the 8300 with a 250 watt power supply was a problem. I upgraded my 8300 power supply to 410Watts. Are there any more suprises I should look for?

Thank you.

That should be fine, and everything should work ok, but I've seen some cases where Dells in that series (and a couple others) would just completely refuse to start with 7800 GS cards in them. For my money, I'd go with a 7600 GS, based on the market, cards scheduled for release in the near future, and the actual performance limitations of AGP.

To late I have already purchased the 7800 GS. I hope all will be OK. As soon as I receive the video card and install it, I'll let you know if all goes well. Thank you.
