Does anyone know of any PCI graphic cards besides the Radeon 9200SE and the GeForce FX5200?
There are plenty of cards that are older than those, but I assume you mean higher spec. If so, I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
Someone asked the same question in the last couple of weeks, and I couldn't find anything better than the two you've mentioned.
i think lynx is right, there arnt any better than that.......
what do you need it for?
Just "mild" gaming.Quote:

early Xmas present.... getting this wed, gotta have something to run my chrissy presents with
intel pci express board 915GEV
1 GB DDR2 533 RAM
3.4GHZ
nvidia pci express 6600 128mb <--- best card out there ;)
for some "mild" gaming too
(couldn't find the 256 in time, but looking at the bench marks, the 128 will do just fine)
You can get a Bloody Monster 5700 for $87.50 from Newegg. But a 5700LE is basically an updated 5200 (faster ramdac, GL1.5 c/f GL1.4) so it depends whether you think the extra $20 is worthwhile.Quote:

no i mean why does it have to be a PCI video card?Quote:

@lynx, if you take a closer look, the bloody monster is a 5700LE even though it's in 5700 section.Quote:

Oh sorry guys. :( I just thought you meant PCI in general.Quote:

agreed... PCI Express should be changed to another name...too much room for error/confusion.... "EGP" works, make it happen.
