Everyone always hated the MX200 back in the day, but really it was an okay cheap card.
I don't understand what do you mean by that, MX 400 = 128bit SDR or 64bit DDR, MX 200 = 64bit SDR
so it's half the bandwidth at the same memory clock, and the extra 25MHz for the GPU, it's a huge difference for memory bandwidth, so I don't get your "pointless", the MX 400 was a great cheap card, the MX 200 wasn't.
the MX 400 with 128bit DDR would be ideal, but as far as I know it never existed, probably because Nvdia didn't want the MX 400 to get to close to the GTS/TI or whatever!?
