I am looking to replace a Geoforce 4 MX420 64Mb DDR. My price limit
is about £75 tops. I have seen a XFX Geoforce FX5200 AGP8x 256MB DDR
DVI TV-Out for about £60.
Is that a good buy, and is the card any good. I have just started
playing alot of PC games so I want a powerful card. I have got a AMD
2600+ XP processor and 1.5 gig of PC3200 DDR.
All help and advice appreciated.


Have a look at other threads discussing the price of the FX5900, available
from £115 upwards; I think that is the smart place to be in terms of most
card for your money. Yes, it's over your budget, but you won't end up doing
what I did - I spent £60 on an FX5200 at Christmas (yeah, I thought it was a
powerful card as well - I didn't do my research!!), and I'm now throwing it
out and replacing it with the FX5900. This looks like a far better balance
for my 2800+ and 1Gb RAM.
