i just got a geforce fx 5200 pci card and hooked it up...it runs fine but im not noticing a huge performace in graphics compared to my integrated. I know some ppl support ati over pny but lets save that till after this one's fixed (then it's fair game, lol). I'm running windows xp in a rig with a 1.2 ghz celeron and 256 mb pc100 ram. (it makes me sad too...) I understand my computer it'self is the bottleneck...but still...i noticed pretty much no performace increase at all. I checked system information and got some wierd results...what im wondering is if this is supposed to be like this.

Name Intel(R) 82810E Graphics Controller
PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7125&SUBSYS_801E1043&REV_03\3&61A AA01&0&08

Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\i81xnt5.sys (6.13.01.2872 , 154.43 KB (158,140 bytes), 8/8/2001 10:13 AM)

the name is my integrated graphics but my adapter is the geforce...but then it says something about the intel corporation. i just had my integrated adapter disabled in device manager so i uninstalled it and restarted...then it started installing it again automatically. Then i got the problem that it couldn't find the drivers, i click cancel and the window pops up again. Im actually noticing a performace drop and my processor (in task manager) seems to be more active than usual. it maxes out on things it never did before and crawls on easy tasks. what am i doing wrong because this is driving me crazy. along with the new video card, i switched the case (disconnected everything) and changed the psu. The monitor is hooked up through the fx 5200 and i only use one monitor as of now (getting a second one soon). Please help me cus this is driving me out of my mind.
