I'm looking for an upgrade of my ATI Radeon 9200SE. I saw a FX5500 and was totally clueless about it. Can I have some input. Btw, what is the Nvidia's match to 9200 and how does it compare to the ATI.

Nvidias equivalent budget card is the FX 5200, only real dif is that its Dx9, and can perform slightly better.
Dunno much about the 5500 so ill leave that for sumone else.

5500 isn't worth it, but a 5700 is.
