Would you make this trade?

I think I am going to but here it is anyway:

My Abit KT7A Mobo, an XP1700, some RAM, and a TNT2 video card for a Gainward FX5700 non-Ultra?

Right now I am sitting with a ti200 and would like something better. No one is buying my stuff, and I was presented with this trade. I really would just like something that will be an improvement over what I have until the big games (d3, hl2, etc.) come out and the new video card (X800 etc.) prices drop.

All opinions are appreciated.

5700 non ultra is a piece of junk, but might be worth more resell value than that stuff, depends on how much and what type of ram, your 4200 probably performs just as good as a 5700 non ultra

No no no, not a 4200, a GF3 ti200.

It is just PC133 RAM, that's all that mobo supports.

Okay, I think I see the error in my ways now. I didn't realize the staggering peformance diff between the standard and the ultra.

Thanks fellas.
