PPl. I wanna buy soon new Video Card, but i dont know which one. I dont have so many $$$, but i found one for $90 - PNY Geforce FX 5200 AGP8X 128 MB, But i also found good one - PNY Geforce FX 5700 ULTRA 128MB, i know last one is better. But it's price $210. I just wanna know what should i buy? Geforce FX 5200 is wasting of money or its good for games? So difference in money is big for me.

P.S.: No Comments, like, DONT BUY NVIDIA ATI RADEON IS BETTER. I know already what is better

The 5200 is a true bottom-end card IMHO - it would be a noticeable upgrade from a geforce2 or earlier, otherwise you're not gonna notice a whole heap of difference (except for dx9 games of course). the 5700 is deffo the way to go. otherwise, you'll get the 5200 and be looking to upgrade in no time.

The FX5200 is the best value for money IMO - i recommend it to all my friends.
ATi is currently good at the top-end (note the word "currently") - but I don't like ATi much - the nVidia based cards have a lot going for them.

Whoever has bought an FX5200 has been happy for what he got at the price he got.
Though, see if you can get an FX5200 Ultra for a price nearby the non-Ultra.

The FX5200 should be quite good (as far as top-end games go) for a year atleast. I suppose it would be the minimum required graphics card for running Longhorn. Even otherwise, it will support your system decently for atleast another 2 years.
