Is the GeForce 5900xt a good card for $200? I just saw it at Best Buy, and since im looking to upgrade from this GeForce4mx it seemed pretty good. Anyone thoughts on this--or does anyone own this card? Thanks.

5200 doesn't suck. It's not the best but for its price, its a very good deal.
And $200 for the 5900XT is an even better deal in my opinion.

Yeah, I got mine for 80$. It may not be the best, but it beats the hell out of my old TNT2.

Yah, I saw that card for 99$. Im told I wouldnt see much of an improvement (if any) over my GeForce 4mx.
When you install a video card, do you need to use a power plug (like that connects to teh hard drive or power supplier?) Some say I do some say I dont, by the way it would be an AGP card.

The high-end cards like the FX5950 or possibly the 5900 and above need direct power from the comp.
The 5200 and 5600 don't.

Does the geforce 5700 need a power source? Cannot find any information on it anywhere as to if it needs it! Ahh thanks.

If it doesn't specify it probably doesn't need one.
