my friend has an old athlon 1700 with a geforce2 mx 200. she bought a new widescreen monitor, but the native resolution looks funky. i'm pretty sure that that old card doesn't support widescreen resolutions. is that correct? will this video card work?
It should work if she updates the drivers. Otherwise she needs a new card.
I don't see why notspecifications wrote:
Max Resolution 2048 x 1536
yeah i updated the drivers a couple of times but to no availDoctaStrangelove wrote:

geforce 2 mx card's image quality looks very funky. I can imagine what it would look like in widescreen...

I have used, am using and will use an old GF2MX400 in a computer here, and it looks just as splendid as any of my other cards.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
I had two and word 'blend' describes some resolutions pretty well. Drivers didn't help.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Maybe some of the mdo work better but it was blurry.
or like in this review:
"So what didn't we like about this card? The 2D image quality has some problems due to the poorly designed / implemented RF filters that appear to be restricting the videobandwidth. The result of this flaw (in this particular model) are some very faint one centimeter wide vertical "stripes" in the output at high resolutions. Remember though, this problem is NOT isolated to this card. There are many other cards in the GeForce2 family, from a variety of different manufacturers that have the same problem (a design flaw in the RF filters). Some of them may have the vertical striping defect like this particular model did, while others may be blurry at all resolutions, and there are also some that have no known problems to speak of. Keep these thoughts in mind when you're out shopping around, know what your requirements are, and read as many reviews as you can find before purchasing and you'll be fine."

Wow, that I didn't know. I must have one of those "good ones", then.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:
