You tell us. How is it working out for you? Its better than the card I have. GeForce4 MX 420. It works fine for what I do but I'd like something better. Just have to wait for my bonus check to arrive (if it ever arrives....stupid recession :angry: )

well from 16mb to 128mb video Memory.. You will really notice faster game speeds. (no more lag). how much did u spend on that Geforce FX5200 ultra?
Does your mobo have 8x agp? (actually 4x compared to 8x.. 8x is only slightly faster by few 7-9 fps.. not much i hear)
If u payed about $200, i suggest u get ati radeon 9500 pro instead.
Otherwise you got a good deal under $150 ;)

Right, I bought an ATI Radeon 9200 128 MB AGP 8X Graphics Card with TV OUT, for £59.
Is that gewd?

[bigdawgfoxx]

ok who post about a new product upgrade...seriously..im sure tons of people could post new 5900 Ultras or 9800 Pros

[RedRival]

me always believes the 5200 - 5600 are just made in a hurry to catch up with what ATi has come up with. the 5900 FX Ultras and the GF4 Ti's are the real deal. BUt I would say the 5200 will give you a huge boost in performance, no doubt.
