Actually... for the money the GF2mx is the best choice.
As for the extra RAM, unless you're running Windows NT you won't see any extra performance. W9x and Me don't know how to use more than 128MB of ram.
Or.... you can go and get a GeForce 2mx 32MB, which has equivalent performance, can be overclocked almost as fast as a standard GF2, and costs approximately $90.
hmmm... take your pick

I personally can see further at night without a flashlight... same goes for WWII.
I play Close Combat 2 & 3 occasionally when the mood strikes me, but only with historical-accuracy mods like West Front and RealPARA.
CC1 is still the best, but it's too outdated for me
