Duron 1.6 with TI4200 or FX5600

[jim620]

I'm building a computer with a Duron 1.6 cpu. Which would be a better card for this setup? Both cards are around $50.

Definately the Ti 4200, assuming it's a 128MB card.

Definately the 4200. THe 5600 is HORRIBLE in all cases!
The only thing that the 5600 has going for it is DX9 support however it is too slow to support it.

Definately the 4200. It crushes the FX5600.

not as bad as you think.. not to mention teh flip chip version with higher clock speeds will be even faster.

4200 unless the 5600 is the ultra version. Only then is the 5600 series worth a look in comparison to a 4200.
