Re: Geforce fx5200

i don't think you can upgrade a graphic cards these days
you could buy a new one prices are going down fast
i suggest 6600gt (but i think you have an agp port) so shop wise

Yeah haven't heard of upgrading graphic cards for years, like back at the time where matrox millenium was the top of he top :)
And even back then you'de have to be a super geek to do it.

Re: Geforce fx5200

yes the 6600 differs from the gt 
the non gt dosen't have gddr3 instead they have standard ddr
also the 6600 has lower clock cycle and slower ram
some 6600 are not sli capable but rummors suggest that you can run them with out the bridge in sli configuration (deppending on the mother board and a hard mod)

ahem toxic whatever u do never get a 6600 over a 6600 GT cause the difference as rolf said is amazingly huge, there are lots of benchmarks over the net which show the power of the gt compared to the non gt.
