Alright heres the deal. I want to buy a new video card (getting sick of my GeForce 2 MX/MX400 64 mb) I dont really want to spend any more then $150 because of the various other bills I have to pay, so I was hoping to buy a 128 mb video card (I dont really want anything lower) I narrowed it down to these (that are $150 or lower)

ATI Radeon� 9200 8X 128MB Video Card -$129
PNY GeForce FX 5200 128MB AGP Video Card-$99

Personally. What do you all think is the better card? Im not worried about spending the extra $30. But, I hear some games are only made specifically for the NVidia series of cards( Delta Force:BHD) and none other....so does that mean that the ATI would work or no? Also, if anyone has had or has either of these then your personall time with it would be some good information to me Smile

Are they hard to install? I thought you just pulled them out and put the new ones in and install it or w/e. But, do I have to uninstall my old drivers first?....and how do I do that? Also would converting from a Nvidia based card to an ATI cause problems or no? It says my GeForce is loaded onto the PCI bus then it says Device-0 Function-0?....what does that mean? Would an AGP card work or no? Hmm...?

Ill post the system specs that I know of for my comp:
Win XP Home
384mb DDR
Cable connection
1.6ghz orw/e speed(cant you tell im not too computer smart Smile

)
NVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 64mb Video Card

Thanks in advanced! You all rule! Smile

Bye
