Hello.
I have in my pc at home a NVIDIA Geforce FX5200 8X 128Mb.
I've got a relative that has a NVIDIA Geforce (FX5200 8X 256Mb or the
FX5600
8X 256Mb he has booth of them) that wants to give it to me as my birthday
present.
In your opinion is it much or is it better then the one I already have?
Wich
one should i pic?

Typically, FX5200 256Mb cards have 250Mhz core and 166Mhz or 200Mhz DDR
memory. Really slow. The FX5600 is no great shakes either, but it's a step
above any FX5200. The FX5600 has a 325 core and 250-275Mhz DDR. It's quite
possible your FX5200 card may be 64bit version, so going to the 128bit
FX5600 may net a reasonable increase in performance. Take the FX5600
256Mb.....leave the FX5200 256Mb with your relative.

I like to play a few games every now and again and so far the one I have has
been doing the job fine.
Thanks to all.

well, if u say your games run fine for u.. just stick with the card
that u have, and the other guy that replied to u, its not only about
mhz speeds, its mainly about the chipset. and of course u should get
the 5600, if its free and all.. if not, and ure a non-gamer and use a
5200 and u say its fine.. then just stick with it man... i got a 5200
but i never knew its gonna be this bad, so im getting this:
