Anyway, here are my 
systems spec's should someone try to reproduce my results.

Let's see what 3DMark2000 
thinks...    

Well according to 
3DMark2000, the MX400 scales pretty well compared to it's older brother the 
GeForce DDR and ATI's Radeon. However, it's no where close to the GeForce 3. 
Let's take a look at something a little newer.          
                
               

3DMark2001 is a 
better indicator of things to come... More and more games coming out will be DX8 
compliant.
