About NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 PCI
NVIDIA's GeForce FX line of cards is still close to the top of the their technology hierarchy, and you can get an FX 5200 that will fit into an AGP-less system. We took a GeForce FX 5200 card with 128MB of dedicated on-board video (video card) memory for a spin. The difference between using integrated graphics and a near high-end graphics board is amazing. The jaggies are gone in gaming, so characters are rendered more smoothly and look more realistic. And frame rates are up--the additional memory and graphics-processing chip just speeds up the whole rendering process while adding more of the 3-D bells and whistles on screen.
Like the rest of the cards in the FX series, the 5200 offers full DirectX 9 support, meaning you'll be able to see all the latest effects that programmers are putting into their games (assuming the rest of your system can handle them as well). The installation process is fairly straightforward, but you do need to disable integrated graphics if you have them so there won't be a conflict between old and new drivers. Otherwise, putting the FX 5200 into a PCI slot is as easy an install as putting in an internal modem.
There's also an S-video port on the back of the card, letting you output a video signal from your computer to a compatible TV for some larger screen gaming, and there's a DVI slot to connect it directly to a digital flat-screen monitor. NVIDIA's GeForce FX 5200 PCI graphics board is perfect for getting your hobbled system up to gaming speed.
