Is 'GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR AGP' a decent graphics card?

**TwoPlAnKs** · 14th October 2003

i need to build a new pc for my little brothers, and i was wondering what graphics card to get.

in my pc at the moment i have a gforce2 mx, which is adequte for occasional games that I play, but they would need something better for games.

i found one on dabs.com, GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR AGP, and was just wondering if it was any good?

additional spec is here

thanks for any help in advance,

wow thanks for the fast reply

my brothers are kinda young (11 and 13 i think) and hence dont have a huge amount of money to spend.

i will look into the prices of those ones you mentioned, but since the pc is gonna have my old 1ghz athalon in it there is little point in getting anything hugely amazing.

thanks again for the fast reply,

just looked again, and the cheapest one out of what you mentioned is �84 and since i dont want to get the very cheapest one, and also since my brothers are poor, nvidia is probably out. are the ati ones any good at the moment? my dad has one in his pc and i wasnt overly excited by it.
