Choice of two video cards - which?

[martint123]

I'm putting a client PC together for GBPVR from scattered junk, basically an old P3 1gig. The only thing I'm missing is a decent video card and I've been offered the choice of picking one from two. I can't try them out beforehand, so which would you go for??? (AGP video) and I don't need the composite of s-video out, just VGA.

ATI Radeon 9200SE 128mb DDR memory or
Nvidea FX5200 256mb

Cheers,
Martin

I think they're fairly comparable, but here's a comparison I found.

Nope I believe the 9200 is a directx 8 card, where as the 5200 is a directx 9 card. So go for the 5200.

Thanks for that, I should have it later tonight.
