Will this run the game beatifully?

I have this card and it runs the game fine, the only thing about this card is it does not have Direct x 9. but it really doesnt matter right now but in the future it will.

I'd bet a good chuck of the people on the forums run a 4200 and there's a good reason for that. It's a solid card with good drivers and excellent overclocking potential. Plus it's pretty fast out of the box to begin with. I've got one myself

i got the 4200 and love it.i started bf with
a g2 mx and switched to a g4 mx and thought
it was exactly the same.it died a week later
and i was lucky enough to find a 4200 on the shelf.
they're getting scarce in the stores now.i fear
the fx line,i've seen the benchmarks.if they don't
move past fx i'll have to look elsewhere for
my DX 9 needs.

should I get 64mb or 128mb? I heard you can't really tell the difference past 64...is this true?

Well the test's show that the 64mb is faster than the 128mb. I have the 64m and it runs great.

Im getting a Ti4800 8x AGP 128mb, this week. Now, the Ti4200 have 2 different versions, 8x, and 4x (standard is 4x). I dont know if there is really any difference between Ti4800 8x and Ti4200 8x, marketting scheme possibly... 8x is quite a bit better than the 4x (mmm such proffessional terminology by me there

)

I'll tell you the outcome when i recieve the card.

Rest of system:

Win 98 ME
Athlon XP 2400+ (2 ghz)
512 mb DDR PC 2100
A-Bit KD7 Mobo (onboard sound)
30 gb HD

The 64MB version runs it's ram faster, but the 128MB has more of it. You can always overclock the 128MB to match the 64MB version though without too much trouble. And right now, side by side in BF42, you wouldn't notice a thing between the 64MB and 128MB, or the 4x and 8x. The Ti4200 doesn't need AGP 8x, so it's just marketing.

If you wan´t to get a good DX 9.0 card, I would recommend the Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9500 Pro 128 MB RAM. If they don´t have it, you´ll need to get the 9600 Pro.
But the 4200 Ti is still a great card and will run any game good enough for another year.
