1. Dont know about cost as its pretty much outdated and discontinued.
2. No
3. No
4. AGP

I would recommend you NOT to get this card. Bascially its paperweight as of now.

Get a 9200 or 9550 which should be quite cheap and will play NFS Underground easily.

Amit, if you dont have an AGP slot on your motherboard, you cant install the card. Dont buy the card.

Oct 5, 2004 at 3:22 AM
Thanks for all the help
i am thinking for upgrading motherboard
so that should take care of agp slot
thats why cant spend even 3000 on card

thanks

it sucks now, ABIT made the Siluro cards about 6 years back, now they are outdated, however they are still rather good for office & cybercafe, light counter strike

how much it cost
can it play latest games
can it play need for speed underground
it is agp card or pci card

1)It probably costs less than 1.5k and the only gfx2 that are made now are probably PCI ones.
2)It cant play the latest games
3)It probably will at low settings. Will have to ask a frnd he had a gfx2 as a back-up solution.
4) Its a AGP card.

Abit Siluro is a ok card, was good when the Gfx2 series was released but u wont be able to play many or rather most games released today. The card is probably clocked @ 175/166 and comes with atleast 32Mb SD ram memory if its a Mx 200 or 64Mb DDR/SD if its a Mx400 . The card has active cooler if its the Gfx 2 MX 400.

if ur upgradin ur mobo... ull be better off with the onboarg graphics than the gf2 ...
ofcourse if u go in for the right mobo that is :D
and u wont be able to upgrade ur mobo and keep ur processor/ram
so ull have to go in for a whole new combination
think abt it a bit dude ..

What the Hell are you getting you self into !!!

First of all you dont have an AGP slot i presume you have an Intel 810 motherboard or SIS.

The only way you can fit this Geforce2 is if the card is a PCI card and not an AGP card. If you still want to buy a card then i would recommend going for fx5200 PCI .

Let me tell you on thing that these PCI versions are more expensive than their AGP counterparts as they r not readily available by the vendors and they don't provide a smooth performance.

I would suggest that you upgrade your base system. Go for a P4 or AMD 2x00. (You can go for AMD 2x00+ NVidia NForce2 motherboard which has onboard graphix of Geforce 4 MX440 which can satisfy all your current needs and it also has an AGP slot with which you can upgrade to a better Gfx card)

Even if you buy any PCI card you wont be able to play with smooth framerates.

DON'T GO FOR GEFORCE 2 !!!

lets take it one at a time shall we ?
u cannot upgrade ur pentium 600 system to a better mobo and still keep ur processor and ram
U HAVE TO UPGRADE EVERYTHING !!!!
they arent backward compatible
u will be better off with onboard graphics than the gf2 card thats for sure ....
so when u get enuff money together u can buy a better card
now lets see ur upgrade option
Asus ViA Chipset ( Till 3200XP) A7V400-MX RS 3350
AMD 2400 sempron : 3000
256 mb ddr400 ram 1900
cabinet with PSU : 1500
kbd+mouse:500 ( or keep ur old one)
monitor 15" ( keep ur old one)
seagete 80gb 7200rpm drive : 2850
cd writer liteon : 1500
thats it i think ... everythign included ..
total : 14,100
