hmm...wow, i'm not really sure. My sister has an ATi 7000 32MB card and it plays basic games and is fine for normal use.

If i had to guess to save my life i'd bet on the 7000 card. It's far newer i thought.

Honestly you can get a 3D Rage PRO in a 4MB version, i don't think the 7000 came in anything below 32MB but i might be wrong.

420 i would wager.

my 440 destroyed my sisters 7000, both 32MB. 420 can't be too much farther behind can it?

I'm not sure about the 7000, but the mx 420 doesnt have pixel shaders, so many new games arent playable. Both crads are pretty old though.

EDIT: sorry I was typing while u were posting
