Thank you all for your replys (especialy you dray_02 , & I think you know why :lol: , you have the 5200).
But no-one even tried to answer my question except Virtualbody1234.
Is the FX5200 better than the 9200SE or are they both same ?
both of those cards are not capable of pretty much anything
If you tell us your budget we will try to find you a viable solution.
Here's my current (old) video card:
Graphics Processor Properties
Video Adapter nVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (Asus AGP-V7100)
GPU Code Name NV11
PCI Device 10DE / 0110
Transistors 19 million
Process Technology 0.18u
Bus Type AGP
Memory Size 64 MB
GPU Clock 200 MHz
RAMDAC Clock 350 MHz
Pixel Pipelines 2
TMU Per Pipeline 2
Vertex Shaders Not Supported
Pixel Shaders 1 (v0.5)
DirectX Hardware Support DirectX v7.0
Pixel Fillrate 400 MPixel/s
Texel Fillrate 800 MTexel/s
Memory Bus Properties
Bus Type SDR
Bus Width 128-bit
Real Clock 167 MHz
Effective Clock 167 MHz
Bandwidth 2672 MB/s
The budget is depending on how much my parrents want to spend, but I think it's arround $100 (maybe more)
EDIT: Thanks for help :)

Alright dude, if $100 is the most you can spend, and you live in the US, the card below is way better than the others you brought up:
SAPPHIRE RADEON 9600 Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP -RETAIL

It is the retail box, so you get the warranty and everything. I don't know how well you will be able to play games, but you will be able to play them. If you could squeeze $140USD out of mom and pops you could really be gaming. Let us know if you can get $140 USD, okay?
Why is this card better? Firstly because it is not the SE model. It is basically a crippled 9600 Pro. What are the differences between the SE and the non SE:
1. The 9600 SE has a 64 bit memory interface while the 9600 has a 128 bit memory interface that will make a big difference

I think we have a winner for this week's prize for 'most horrifically uninformed post' :D
First of all, I don't live in the USA, I'm from Europe.
Second thing, I want to buy some guitar-hardware for my electric guitar, and I don't want to spend all my money for a damn gf card.I will spend a max. of $100
If I can get the guitar hardware cheaper I'll maybe be able to spend more money on the card ...
For now it's a max. of $100 for the gf card, couse I like to jam with my friends more than to sit in front of a monitor and play games ... :P
Let's Rock !!!
honestly, the 5200 is better here. google it to find some benchmarks.Quote:

I was thinking the same thing.I have the Sapphire radeon 9200se and I have no probs with it at all.I had a Radeon 7500 64bm DDR but I couldn't get past a couple of spots in Call of Duty becasue it just couldn't keep up.I bought the 9200se and all is well.It doesn't do to well on 3dmark2001 or anything like that but for the average gamer it is pretty decent.
