You might as well, but you could have spent a little bit more and got a Ti 4400

I was thinking about getting the 5200 XT. I am looking to spend less then 70 after shipping. I saw a 5200 that said it was 256-bit. Is that true?

probably not 256bit, but there are 26mb cards out, but the 128mb ones have lower latency so they are better. plus you wont need 256mb in any games released for a few years.

@the ocing, go for it! OC it about 20mhz on teh ram, 50 on core. then start a game and play for a bout 20minutes to make sure you dont get any artifacting. If you do get artifcating then lower your OC a bit, if none try to go a bit more.

Got that type o card on 128 have a ATI 9200 with 256 runs same as 128 so is it worth xtra money thats up to you would i pay more for 256 no. 128 is still good
