Hardware Transformation and lighting quesion (t&l)

No, and yes, but the Geforce 5200 is also ancient. It's okay if you pay $30 or less for it and don't play games, but otherwise get something much better.

Well, we only play basic games, like roller coaster tycoon 1,2,&3, and MAYBE EV Nova, so we don't need too much.  That's about all we do besides go on the internet, so that might fit our needs.

hi, you might like to get a nivdia 6200 over a 5200 might give slightly better performance and not much difference in price
