Overclocked system video ????

[drjustin]

I am putting together a rig that i am trying to keep under $1100 so i need price/performance components. i was wondering if the Geforce II MX could handle the awkward agp buses that overclocking results in as well as the Geforce II GTS or Geforce II PRO. thanks for the help in advance.

I have an Hercules Prophet MX2 ,my FSB is 126MHz with AGP @ 84MHz ,seems to be fine so far (only had it 5 days).

yep it can handle it no problem. I had a Creative Labs geforce2 mx and it did 100mhz AGP just fine...

I would recommend a Radeon 32 ddr tho. They're cheap now ($106 shipped on pricewatch for oem), just as good in 3d as MX, but with crisp 2d and dvd hardware acceleration
I'm running at 100 AGP (150 FSB) with radeon right now

I think most GTS cards would do fine. But if your going to buy a new motherboard, many of the newer chipsets support the higher bus speeds used in overclocking. For example, a CUSL2 automatically kicks in a 1/2 AGP divider at 133FSB.
