Dose Mandrake 9.2 have support for the GeForce FX 5200 w/128mb RAM? If so, would it have DRI? If not, what would the cheapest PCI card that I could play Unreal Tournament 2003 on be? (must have dri)

Theres no DRI for nvidia cards. They work 2D only using the Xfree "nv" driver. 3D is like 1 frame/sec using Mesa. However, nvidia cards work quite okay using the nvidia binary only drivers (who's legality is questioned, but nobody is likely to sue them).
Geforce FX 5200 will work using the nvidia drivers, which have their own GL module.
