which fx 5200 pci card to get

[dshodson]

i need a pci video card and since i cant get a visiontek 9100 128meg, im looking at the fx5200 series. there seems to be a lot of them and im wondering if any one has a better product (like the visiontek 9100 was better than the others) and im also curious if the 256 meg cards are worth the money or just a waste of memory.

Probably the Mad Dog 5200 PCI. The one I tested last fall had a higher memory clock speed (250/500mhz) than other 5200 PCI cards. Just make sure you don't get one with only two memory chips on the front, which probably indicates a 64-bit memory bus. Make sure that all front memory slots are populated.
