New PCI video card

[tcsenter]

FX5200 v. R9200 (same performance as R9250)

The FX5200 is a terrible performer for being a newer DX9 part while the R9200/R9250 is only DX8.1 but out-performs it in almost every category.

Finny,
I assume you were talking about the chumbo page, but I don't see anywhere on that page where it states the memory interface. It states the amount of memory is '128MB DDR', but that does not refer to the memory bandwidth. I heard that it was 64bit from reading forum posts of members who emailed the company for specs. I would like to know if this will degrade the 6200's performance to where a 5500 with 128bit memory would be comparable. Does being PCI render this difference moot anyway?

I believe this is also a variant of the same board: http://www.bfgtech.com/6200_256_PCI.html

I would go with the 6200 PCI..

With that nice of a system, I'd shell out 80 for a PCI-e mobo... and then get a good card later on.
