Default Video Cards which one ??? - 08-04-2004, 08:42 PM

My PC died,so I'm thinking about buying a new rig,I don't follow what's new,what's not.The PC I'm buying comes with Chaintech Geforce FX5200 AGP8X 256MB and on my old PC I have installed a GeForce Ti 4400 128mb.Should I keep the new one,or swap with my old one ?Until I get a new Video Card.

Open for suggestions for a new VC,links would be great.

Thanks rock:

From what ive read, the FX5200 is supposed to be the worst card for the money. The only advantages it has over the 4400 is that it is dx9 compatible. And what new card are u getting?
