Quick Techie Question..
 

This isnt the best place to ask, but I'll do it anyways....

...Im gonna be upgrading my video card pretty soon, (or atleast saving up enough money for one - I probably wont have enough 'till late August) to play the latest and greatest like CoD 2 and all that stuff. The thing is, while my PC isnt incredibly old, it's old enough, as I've only got a PCI card slot, not Express.

Heres what I have currently:

Intel Celeron 2.70GHz
512MB Ram
40 GB H.D.
GeForce FX 5200 128MB
Windows XP Home

Im thinking about these:

Cheap, $66 bucks is a great deal, but who's "APPOLLO BLOODY MONSTER" ?

It's an older card, but 256MB, and a little more reliable company (Sapphire, not ATI - though I like ATI a lot, when I had a Radeon 9000)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102533
Another FX 5700, and more expensive, but a different nobody company
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814139166
Then theres PNY, the most reliable company of all, as my current card is from them, but its a 5500 (I really dont know the difference, as I dont benchmark or any of that stuff - if it helps me play games at an even higher setting, than its good enough for me..I've got no clue what all this FPS mumbo jumbo means, nor do I care)

So, whaddaya guy's think is the best deal?
Think you can find any better ones? I kinda like ATI more..

Duff my boi, look into a 6600GT or a 6800GT.

Fine idea, but with $10 a week allowance I dont think I'll be going anywhere for a while

how old are you?

Fourteen.

I need an answer, though...

[quote="Doctor Duffy":9d397]Fourteen.

I need an answer, though...[/quote:9d397]i'm serious...go mow some lawns. It's easy money.

As teasing as you are... I dont think I could survive on the crap that I've listed. I'll probably just do that, mow lawns, (I've looked for jobs - almost landed one as a caddy-boy - but couldnt find any for my age), and maybe just buy a cheap, low-end PC (but 30X better than mine). Im just dreaming though...

sell drugs

I d collect the protection taxes from duffy

Those are all terrible cards. The FX5700LE will probably be a little faster than an FX5200, and I'm pretty sure the Radeon 9250 is slower.

get a paper round. min age is 13, easy money!
