MSI Geforce4 MX440 DDR 64MB Review

Introduction

As we are coming to a close on our MX440 shootout, today we will be looking at the MSI model. I have been very impressed with MSI's card ever since my friend's 4600TI card benchmarked higher then my ASUS 4600TI on the same system. Will the card be good or will it be a dud read on and we shall see.

Great looking box, looks like it might be a good card.
