That is WAY horrible for a 5200... there should be MORE issues than just the crappy 5200... thats SLOWER than the GF3... about the same as a GF2mx400 ... which on paper is what a 64bit 5200 can perform at... roughly. A $75 Ti4200 would get her up to at least 9000. Except I can't buy one new here in NZ. Tried for a week. then a 5600Ultra is the lowest end- but usable video card. I couldn't afford one though when I bought the 5200 for the missus. The 5600 ultra was nearly three times the price. I'm on a *very* limited income as I'm an invalid. -- ~misfit~ |

In the USA - the 5600Ultra is cheap... $120~150... but I think that is more than its worth. 5200s sell for $65~130.

LOL... funny ****. Did the CAD people notice? If they had half a brain - they would have swapped the computers. When I was taking my CAD classes - we used XT-8086-12mhz systems with a full 640K of RAM... POS computers. -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot!

Many people DO BUY PCs when they get full of crap from the net... -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot! Death to Palladium & WPA!! |
