Best pci video card

[MiranoPoncho]

Our familie's celeron system, although fairly stable, requires an upgraded video card for some of the tasks that we do on it. problem is, it doesnt have an apg slot. nope nothing. So I was ondering, what would be a good upgrade for this? currentley running a geforce 4mx 420 with 64 mb sdr. thanks.

are you planning to play games with the upgrade? if not, there's really no point in upgrading the video card. also, pci video cards are a waste of money. use that money to add more ram instead.

may be worth a few bucks more than a 5200 better at AF/AA
how fast is the CPU and how much ram do you have?

LE editions are crippled cards they suck. ATI9250 isnt that better than a 5200?

92xx usually slower than 91xx cards. LE does mean slower in this case I dont think its "crippled" some are and have a 64 bit ram interface.
A9250 is a turdball. " LE editions are crippled cards they suck" moronic, unhelping statement does a 6800LE suck?

true. but for 50 bucks more you can get a vanilla 6800 with 1 mor vs and 4 more pp.
ill rephrase it LE and SE are lowest class versions of the card. besides, i heard somewhere a 5700le is worse than a ti4600
