Go for a 6600 instead of a 6200, they're not much more expensive. Or go 7 series and get a low end card there. I thought you were limited to PCI (Like I was) and forced to get a low end card.

EDIT: DO NOT BUY THEM FROM THE STORE. THE STORE JACKS UP PRICES MORE THAN DOUBLE SOMETIMES. ALWAYS ALWAYS ORDER ONLINE!!!

You may be able to get a 6800 for the same price the store sells a 6200. DO NOT BUY FROM THE STORE!

YOUR TWO "ALWAYS" NEGATES UR STATEMENT (ie. NOT ALWAYS TRUE!)
u have to wait for the right time at stores when they go on-sale.

Microcenter has deals right now: x850xt pe pcie for ~$149, geforce 7600gt for $149 plus with stores, U CAN RETURN THEM if u have probs, some online sites do not let u do that so its a RISK

for example compare X850xt PE pcie 256mb DDR3 from Newegg.com and Microcenter stores:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814102554R at $199 after rebates, 15-day return

VS

http://www.microcenter.com/byos/byos...duct_id=234367 at $199.99 in-store sale (although it says $499.99, in-store they chopped the price down to $199.99) plus $50 rebate, 30 day return

you guys think this video card will run bf2 smoothly with little or no lag? looks good but at 99$ i cant be sure itll be good

Re: Nvidia FX5500 or 6200 or Radeon 9250

@Vipa Yes, that thing will run BF2 smooth at medium-high settings.

One reviewer said that freeze ups occur in BF2 for him. But I wouldn't trust a single reviewer.

get a new mobo with pcie. that salesman was correct, agp is obsolete.

Dying but not obsolete. I see decent support for them for the next year at least, maybe more. Aside from graphics, there have been little advancements in PCs over the last year or 2 to warrant upgrading whole systems for a lot of people.
