IYO, Which one

[Trkkr]

A friend is thinking of buying a relatively cheap video card to replace the junk one that they have in their Dell, and even though I'm pretty sure which of the two is a better buy, I'd thought I'd pick you're brains and see what you guys think.

Pine XFX GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR Video Card

or

Power Colour Radeon R92P-C3S 128MB PCI Video Card

Asus A7N8X-Deluxe V1.04
Athlon XP 2600+
Maxtor 7200rpm 80GB
WD 7200rpm 40GB
Radeon 9500 Pro
2 x 256 Kingston DDR RAM

Radeon 9200pro? but whats the C3S?

N E How, I just took a look of this review of budget cards... this should help...some

<A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1933&p=1" target="_new">bugdet cards reviewed</A>

they have the 9200np and the GF 5200 FX Ultra and a few other low budget cards but not the 9600np or the 9200Pro.



I am thinking that the 9600np is the way to go...but am still not sure... look in to the GF4 4200 Ti aswell

If a person wants to know about a certain card, and I dont recognize it by it's manufacturers name/number, I sure as hell aint going to do a search for it when they knew it was a card most people wouldnt recognize....
