i was looking at this cheap card as basically a slightly better version of the MX 420, which is what i have in another comp, and runs perfectly. but as neoseeker.com puts it, "benchmarking the GeforceFX 5200 128MB was like watching America compete in World Cup Soccer. You know it's going to lose, but it's still disappointing when it happens."



rofl, nod. i dont have faith in any nvidia cards besides their TI series. ati seems to be getting the edge. i have a geforce 4 ti 4200 128mb ... runs pretty good.

yeah i have a gf4 mx 420 64 MB and it runs flawlessly on all of the games that I currently play, so I was just looking for another cheap thing to work like that, and I thought i found it :P

I dislike ATI, just from personal experiences. Voodoo ruled all there was to rule, ATI can suck a fat one. I purchased a video card for $130 a month or so ago, and honestly, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what it is. I just went in, grabbed one, and left. Damn the pot.

I enjoyed Voodoo also especially their website that had hundreds of working drivers posted by people.

for you, i'm sure. but learning is key. read a couple fucking manuals and use that worthless mass on your neck for something other than being ignorant. i garuntee it is worth it. Seems that's why everyone thinks that *nix is hard. but it's actually quite simple to understand after reading a little.



Besides, i bet i get more fps playing counterstrike in freebsd than you do in winblowsxp.



i'm stoned and done.

Yer first problem is that Biostar POS mainboard. I spent $800 ordering 3 mainboard bundles to build some systems for customers, along with some misc stuff - ram, and such. All 3 Biostar mainboards were fucked up. And when I tried to send em back for a refund, they sent it back to me and said that they were damaged due to improper installation. Pfffffffft!! Went out and bought 3 MSI mainboards, NO PROBLEM! Screw Biostar!!!! I'm out $800 for 3 shitty mainboards, but at least now I know better..

it's not a problem with the MB, it's a good MB, DDR 400 and was fairly cheap. it's not a bad motherboard. yeah i know the brand isn't the greatest, but i like the stats on it, and it looks nice
