If you were buying a cheap POS video card...

...which one would you get?

64Mb GeForce MX4000 $24

128Mb Radeon 9250 $28

128Mb GeForce FX5200 $33

I'm leaning towards the 5200, but I'm not sure if the Radeon would actually be a better card?

Not sure but the radeon may have one or two hardware advantages, but I'd still get an Nvidia card to avoid driver issues :???:

Driver issues on ati :?:

Was actually the opposite for me, I kept getting blue screens from the nvidia drivers but works flawless with ati.

Of course I dont know if its just an issue with win 2k3 compatible nvidia drivers.

I would go for an ati based card.

i would actully go w/ the 5200. but some of that could actully be my pro Nvidia bias but mainly the driver issues.

Yeah it looks like the 5200 would be best. It's a DX9 card and some have 128bit memory, although some are only 64bit.

All of the Radeon 9000, 9200 and 9250 are 64bit and DX8 only. At least all the cards I can find.
