Probably the FX5200, as it's a later model. But, I have a 5200 and
it's a bit on the dodgy side. I get glitchy graphics every once in a
while. I think because the Windows 98 drivers for it are somewhat
buggy.

But here's an article on it...

Someone told me to try the 61.21 drivers and they do seem to work.

Offhand, I'd say the more ram the better.
64 I would think would be at the extreme low end for a recent game, as nice
as it would have been like 2 years ago.

But mainly the first one, lol.
I've had my system for about 6 months or so, not really sure how old it
