Comment: my computer doesent have an agp slot.. ( ya ya i know my comp is old lol) but anyway i saw a pci card the GeForce fx 5200 128mb pci i was just wondering if i should buy it.. im not looking for bleeding edge graphics i know im not gonna get it. maybe just 800 x 600 with no choppyness just smooth play... so if u know of this card or any pci card that would help me out i would really appreciated. System Specs:
AMD k6 533mhz
64mb ram (planning to upgrade very soon)
current card is an 8 mb trident blade 3d ( sucks very badly) 20 gb hard drive.. i guess that bout all i need to put down i think. the games i usually play is half-life, starcraft, gta 3, and battlefield 1942.. well i try to play them.

Reply: (edit)For your information, I would not recommand you getting Geforce FX 5200 PCI. Your AMD K6-2 is bottleneck for the Geforce FX 5200, even though you buy one, you won't get high fps due to the fact that K6-2 has low FPU power. I would just buy a whole new computer. The K6-2 aren't esay to upgrade, because it uses AT case. If you don't have enough money to buy a new system, I suggest you look for a Geforce 2 MX PCI instead. Its cheaper and perform the same since you have bottlenecked cpu.
