The FX5200 lol i remember those!

A good budget card I remember buying a geforce 2 card and thats upped my renegade graphic quite considerably from my onboard graphics, so if your just after a small cheap upgrade i'd recommend the FX5200.

However I did buy a 2nd hand one of these for £25 (and that was a year ago) for my dads computer and the fan makes a really loud noise when it's been on for a while so I'd recommend getting a new one if you can. but I'd say it's definatly not worth spending hundreds of pounds on the latest graphics card if your just playing renegade, as dollar (or pound) per bit of extra performance or graphical improvments it's a waste of money.

I also went form a Geforce 3 Ti 200 to a Geforce 6200 and didn't see any improvements, so save your cash what ever you chose to do. Wink

Edit: the Geforce 2 was a PCI card and the Geforce3 and 6 were AGP cards but i'm now using a standard Nvidia 64 mb Quadro PCI-E card that came with my 1 year old Dell and that does the job as well as the rest too
