While installing the drivers you'll notice a nice feature called ADM installation utility. ADM will actually detect the system configuration of the machine being used and will ease up the installation process to include all of the drivers needed for installation, including the correct GART (Graphics Address Remapping Table) drivers for the motherboard chipset. Making installations easier than ever and virtually eliminating the legacy issues that plague the graphics card industry.

In three simple steps ADM optimizes, configures, and will set up your computer's video display adapter.

1. ADM automatically detects your computer's operating system and presents an installation menu tailored to your operating system.
2. Chipset Check scans your system to determine the motherboard chipset that you are using. It then checks to make sure that the correct motherboard AGP drivers are installed, and if not it will install them for you.
3. ADM searches your computer for previously installed video drivers and removes them and set back to the standard VGA mode. This eliminates problems that can be caused by having older video drivers present when you upgrade. ADM then copies over the correct display drivers and configures Windows to accept the new display device - virtually eliminating any confusion about driver installation.

In all honesty, a pretty inventive and secure installation process.

When we look at the targeted performance of the MX 440 we can say is a very decent one. Later on in our benchmarks we will demonstrate where this card will be performance wise as we will put it up to the test with the GeForce2 MX, Radeon 7500, GeForce3 Ti200 and Ti500.

The big downside to have a mid budget graphics card are missing high-end features and performance .. there is absolutely no support for eye candy like Environment mapped bump mapping or pixels shaders, they can not be found on the MX series even in the GeForce4 range, then again .. it is a budget card and the competition like ATi's Radeon 7500 pulls exactly that same trick. In all honesty (again) if you throw in another 10 bucks you can buy a GeForce3 Ti 200 which in performance is slightly faster and does have compatibility for features like these.
