I bought the eVGA e-GeForce FX 5200 Ultra.


I paid about $130 for this card, so if there's anything in that range
that anyone could recommend, or if you recommend just sticking with
this card, I'd appreciate feedback of any kind.

I know this is a Nvidia group, and I'm a Nvidia owner, but at that money
you can get a 9600 Pro which has your dual monitor support and will kick
the 5200s ass. The Gigabyte models are a good place to start.

On the power issue, I know on my model I get that if I don't plug power
into the card - it doesn't just run off the AGP slot power. Perhaps
yours is the same - does your card have a power socket?

The ATI RADEON 9600 or 9600SE looks pretty fine.
Is that going to perform well with 3D games, etc.?

Just what's the difference between the 9600 and the SE version?

Thanks.
