Sil,

Based on this: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/02q2/020418/vgacharts-01.html I'd have to say the Ti over the MX420. The Ti has DDR & outperforms a MX440 w/DDR on Aquanox which is a very demanding 3D DX8 benchmark.

If you can find a GF3 Ti200 for a reasonable price: it is much better than either.

HTH,

I think it has been covered a hundred or so times at least... The MX series of cards are budget cards, supposed to be a "value" card but it isn't even much of that because some of the older cards outperform them and run around the same price.

I think this one is actually a difficult question to answer. The two cards you are comparing have distinct advantages over each other depending on what game/app you're running. What do you intend to do with this? Which games do you play? OpenGL or D3D? Which game engines do you prefer? Take a look at that Tom's VGA board and compare some things (as closely as you can) that relate to the games you like to play.

MX is still the "budget" model.
