I think the 9200 might just squeak ahead. But really, if you're a gamer, you're going to want a better card than either of these.

I prefer FX5200...
Daytona,ABIT and Albatron EP are 64 bit ones.
You will have to see reviews to know that.

I'm gonna vote the 9200 on this one, because in reality, the 5200 performs much along the line of a GF2, which sadly, doesn't compare to today's standards. :|

Here is a review of the Sapphire Radeon 9200 which features the GF4 Ti4200, GF4 MX440 and a FX5200. This is what they said about the Radeon 9200:-

"This video card suffers from a general lack of power, it's performance with certain games is very lacking especially if you enable fsaa. It's support for 8x Agp offers no real performance increase and is worthless right now. It's performance in general is closer to the Geforce4 MX440 than the latest budget video card from nvidia the Geforce FX5200."

My vote goes with the FX 5200, it has DX9 and it's performance isn't really that bad.

get the fx 5200, the 9200 is simply a 9000 non pro with 8x agp. 9000 non pro is on gf4mx level with dx8 support, however the pro is a completely different story.

There's not much of a difference, a gf4 ti4200 will be much better than any of the current budget video cards and not much more expensive.

indeed, should find one under 100 bucks
well worth a few extra dollars if you have em and dont plan on getting another card for a while
