I am a kind of person that thirves for graphics like you've never seen.
Many people have told me that with my specs, I should run stuff like an XBOX.
Yeah right.
It can make the graphics, but it is quite unstable and slow.What I have now:
1.6gHz P4
384 DDR RAM
20 gig. hd
geforce4 ti 4200 (250 core clock)I am about to upgrade my system to this:
1.6gHz P4
512 DDR RAM
120 gig. hd
geforce fx 5200 ultra (325 core clock)SHOULD MY UPGRADE BE ENOUGH TO EQUAL A NEW AGE GAMING CONSOLE LIKE THE MS XBOX???
If not, what do I need to upgrade to?

If you want to equal or better the XBOX up your memory to 1gb update your CPU to 2.5ghz or higher and dump that crappy Geforce FX 5200 not even the Geforce FX 5800 Ultra can beat the Radeon 9700 Pro and that card is old now but still your best option for gaming speed or get the Radeon 9800 but I find that is not much faster than the 9700 Pro
Goodluck with your system
Zero Cool

You won't see much increase with the 5200 Ultra. You'll need at least a 9500 Pro and a faster CPU. Your motherboard is probably holding you back too.

If youve got cash to burn and smoke, then get the latest Radeon Video card as this is the fastest out at the mo.
If you have even more money left over from the bank robbery then spend it on a nice 2GHz P4 with lots of cache. (512k).
