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. |

GeForce 4 Ti4200 or Radeon 8500. They will kick the shit out of a FX5200. You can find them for less than $50 if you search around.
What Dx9 games do you play? It doesn't matter anyways since your intel graphics card doesn't render Dx9 features. Giving a low end card the ability to render Dx9 features is pointless because it would be to slow to use them.
