Default Mad Dog Conqueror FX 5200 Plus PCI 128MB

My computer does not have an AGP slot. Buying a new computer is not an
anawer. Upgrading what I have is the best I can do. Having written that,
anyone with pratical experience with a Mad Dog MultiMedia Conqueror FX 5200
Plus PCI 128MB please respond with how you found this videocard to work.
Thank you.

If you cant afford the money to buy a newer system with an AGP slot(a few
hundred dollars), you have absolutely no business spending any money on
anything but bills/food/necessities.

Mr. Biz,
Thank you for your kind words and your heartfelt concern over me and my
little familys financial situation. It is rare today that someone like
yourself takes the time, energy, and effort to offer solice and
consideration to a complete stranger such as myself. However, you failed to
mention in your reply if you had any knowledge or experience to share about
the videocard in question.
I look forward to anyone's reply who can help me out. Thank you.

My father has an older system with integrated Intel video. There is no
AGP slot. He wanted to watch full-screen DVD's, but the onboard video
lacked the horsepower to do so.

I installed a Mad Dog FX5200 PCI 128MB card in his system, and it worked
like a charm. Full screen, 32-bit color, without any hesitation.

We got it for about $79.99 if I remember correctly. It's been installed
since just before Christmas, and has been working without any problems.

PCI 64mb / 128mb -makes no difference, get cheapest 5200.

I think you can find them for about $65~75 on line... but if CompUSA
has it cheap - go for it.

The 5200 is the BEST PCI video card you can get, I was surprised what
it could do. It's still a POS video card, but you have no other
choice.

To Messrs. Greer, Hank, and Darthy:

Thank you gentlemen for adding your input to my question. After updating my
MB BIOS just to be safe, the installation went flawlessly, the card was
recognized by XP, and after installation I was able to download the most
recent drivers 5.3.03 from the Nvidia site. Thanks again, Mark
