" 1. Is he right?
2. Is there anywhere on the net I can get an overview of the evolution of
graphics cards in general, the jargon, etc. so I have some idea what all

1. He is largely mistaken. The FX5200 may be better than the lowest of the
GeForce4 range, but the Ti4200, Ti4400, Ti4600 and Ti4800 are all
significantly faster than the FX5200, even though they lack the DirectX 9
hardware support that the FX5200 has.

2. The following links are a VGA buyers guide and a comparison of the
latest VGA cards:
