This is a pretty old topic, but I did end up getting a PCI fx 5200 128 mb card. I have a friend who wanted it, so i figured if i got it and didn't like it, I could just sell it to him. I used 3dmark01 to benchmark my system before the card. It got a lousy 1621 marks. After installing the new...
If I have an Intel 845g chipset motherboard that came off my Insignia, and want to replace it with a new motherboard, do I have to worry about it working with my factory installed windows xp that came with the Insignia?
O.K. My setup is:
Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz
640 MB Ram
64 MB On Board Graphics 845g Intel Chipset
The FX 5500 would cost around $60 or a little under.
I'm also considering just buying a new motherboard that supports AGP or PCI-E.
Would "upgrading" to a Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 or 5500 128 MB (PCI) be much better than my crappy 64mb on board graphics?
I'd be using this for simple gaming with all the graphics options on low. I'd also try to use this on Age of Empires 3.
