Not to shabby for a dual monitor set up if your stuck with a pci mobo. IMO of course

Nice find but I can say I might spring for the one I listed. I bought 2 things from them so far listed as refurb but showed up in retail packaging with everything and the mem I got wasnt even opened. I bought refurb from Newegg and never got anything more then what they listed.

Not trying to sway anyone really just my experances between the two on refurb products.

When shopping for a 5200 (PCI or AGP) you want to make sure you get a 128 bit memory interface and not a 64 bit interface. This makes a huge difference in performance. There doesn't seem to be a price difference in 64 or 128 bit cards. Read the specs carefully.

Just doing a search with Pricegrabber I couldn't tell if a single one of the 5200 PCI cards returned in the search were 128-bit. Dani, do you know of any specific brands/models to look for?
