i think im going with the fx5200, its only 54 bucks and seems to be a decent card, its direct x 9.0 compliant and has 128 mb memory, if anyone else knows of a better card thats less then 70 bucks please link me.
FX5200 is a MX440 with dx9 tech..It cant even run current DX9 games..Please dont get it oOo:
i run direct x 9 games on my current shitty intel graphics card, u just have to turn the settings down, on my other comp i maxed out call of duty and mohaa on my geforce4 mx440. besides from what i was reading in the reviews the fx5500 is not that much better than the 5200 and its 20 bucks more.
Thats why it sucks dick,spring for a decent card and play with everything on high and at least 2xAA and 8xAF,trust me you will never go back

go for the closest to 100 $ budget fx5600. that will do you. I prefer it fo its half decent clock speed and its dx9 compatibility. so it does a half decent job.

If your going nvidia, get the ti-4200 if you oc it, it will be fine.

If at all possible grab a ATI Radeon 9500 and flash it to 9700, great idea.

ATI rules.
