It's not a Geforce 2, actually... it's a very different core. It still doesn't have vertex or pixel shaders, though.

He just, in his ignorance, means performance- wise.

No, it's still a lot more powerful than the Ge2. It's a respectable card, although the lack of pixel and vertex shaders.

Well, you can get a Radeon 8500 (with pixel/vertex shaders) for $70. I'm not sure about its prerformance, but I'll take a stab and say it's better than that of the GF4MX.
