I have a GF2MX in my mac, but its a single, I want a twinview. So I know the GF4MX doesn't compare well to a GF3, but how about a GF2MX. Any comparisons of that?

Here's a review of the GeForce 4Ti (but it contains <a href="http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/geforce4_ti/geforce4_titanium_Mac.html" target="_blank">benchmarks </a> of the other cards you mentioned)...
good luck,
dave

GeForce4MX is actually the GeForce3MX, and GeForce2MX is correctly named... The performance difference (in percentage) should be comparable to GeForce2Ti vs. GeForce3Ti...at least that's what I thought...I say if you do A LOT of DVD decoding, get a Radeon8500, but otherwise, definitely not something outdated...thus GF4MX
G4/450, T-bird 1.05GHz, iBook 500, iBook 233...4 different machines, 4 different OSes...(9, 2k, X.1, YDL2.2 respectively) PiA to maintain...

Well if you look at the benchmarks above, the card does pretty damn well.
And I got it for $240, and sold my GF2MX for $125. I'd say I got a pretty good deal on a pretty good card. Plus now I have FOUR monitor interfaces!!!! yay (ATi 7500 in a PCI slot)

I forgot that Barefeats also has <a href="http://www.barefeats.com/graf30.html" target="_blank">benchmarks for the cards</a> you asked about...
