GeForce MX 5200?

The Dell technical support technician told me that the most recent video card that is compatible with my system is the GeForce MX 5200.  I cannot find the "MX 5200" anywhere.  The only video card I find is "FX 5200".  Is the "MX" correct?  If so, how old is this card?  Will it run today's games?

Thank you in advance!

I have a Dell Dimension L866r.  Do you need any other info?

Hi,

What system do you have?

No thats fine...

Your system has no AGP slot, so you will only be able to add a PCI graphics card...
They must have made a mistake with the MX... the best available PCI graphics cards are the (128mb Geforce FX5200 pci), or the (Radeon 128mb 9100 pci)

Hope this helps

I recommend the Radeon 9100 PCI over the FX5200.

Do you have a source for the Radeon 9100 PCI?  I have seen the 9200, but not the 9100.

Just make sure that you choose a 128mb version :)

Given the system I have, would I notice a difference between 64 MB and 128 MB with the PCI slot type?  The price difference is significant enough.

Any thoughts?
