Reply: (edit)You'll need an AGP card. Upgrade your RAM to 1 gig, too. How about a Geforce 6800GT AGP? FX-57 @ 3.1ghz

Reply: (edit)Yea, the FX5200 came as PCI or AGP, so we'd have to know what slot type is available for the upgrade. Knowing the CPU would help too because there's no point in putting a high power card behind a weak CPU. The power supply has to be taken into consideration as well. ASUS A7N8X-X
