Final Words
As a value card, I am thoroughly impressed with the MSI Starforce GeForce 4MX 420. With the exception of the incompatibility issue with the K7T266 Pro2, I found it to be a very stable, decently performing board. It is not, however, a great card. It is a budget card, meaning that you should only consider buying it if you are on a budget. The lack of Direct X 8 support and the fact that GeForce 3ti200's are to be found for around $30.00-40.00 more, is a reason to steer clear. Unless you are strapped for cash and need to play games now, I would not buy this card. This card would, however, make an excellent addition to a family computer that is used to plays basic games and surf the net. That said, MSI did a terrific job of manufacturing this card, and there is no better all around card available for under $100.00.
Pros:
Inexpensive
Great benchmark scores for a budget card
Nice packaging
Good for overclocking projects
Best sub-$100 card on the market
Cons:
May not be worth buying if you can afford just a bit more, as much better boards are available for little more money
Incompatibility woes with K7T266 Pro2 mainboard
Direct X 8 functionality is not there
Won't play tomorrow's games the way developers want them to look
