Well you get what you pay for. The 9200 is pretty good... a few years ago. It'll play some of today's games, but at pretty low settings.

It's better. You can probably play today's games at about mid levels with little stuttering.

is this a pci or agp card? the 9200 pci version (i don't even know if there is an agp, probably is) is an okay card for the price, it won't run higher-end games such as BattleField 2 and F.E.A.R. though. Games such as CounterStrike work fine on it.

what about a GeForce FX5500EQ 256MB DDR AGP Video Card w/TV-Out or a GeForce FX 5200 256MB DDR AGP Video Card w/TV-Out ?

Those are only going to be a bit better than the 9200, in my opinion the 5200 is about equal, the 5500 a bit better, the 5700 even better(but still not a great card).

lol ok then, what would be a good card to get?

[jacob2932]

Depends on how much your planning on spending, and what type of slots you have (PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express)
