Default FX5200 reviews needed.

Hi I read this news group quite a bit and I know people seem to enjoy
putting down the MX cards and the FX5200.
I've been using a MX440se 64MB DDR PCI on a 1.2 GHz celeron, 256Mb
sdram.
I'm upgrading very soon(maybe even this morning) to an AMD 2600+ (333
FSB) 512MB 2700 DDR ram. On an asus motherboard. ( The choice of
motherboards was based on comments I read on this newsgroup).

For a short while I'll be using my present video card(mx440se PCI). I
found this card worked great in my system, but with the new upgrade I want
to take advantage of the 8xAGP etc.

The best I can do for a video card will be the FX5200. (the video cards
around here are still priced at about $129.99 +Tx Canadian for a FX5200 or
MX440 8xAGP.) I've looked on a few web sites and the Canadian stores online
are still charging around $109.99 when the tax and shipping is added its
about the same.

I guess after all this my question is does anybody using a FX5200 want
to give it a good review. Or know were I can find one on the web (besides
Toms hardware which I've read and reread.)
And or does anyone know a good Canadian online store with good prices
and a good reputation. I'd consider a more expensive card but the jump from
say a FX5200 to a FX5600 is huge and something I might have to put off till
later. I'm really not interested in the Ti series at all.
Sorry for being so long winded. Have a great day and thanks for any
help, thoughts or suggestions.
