I'm currently upgrading my sister-in-law's family computer. So far I've replaced their mobo w/ PII 400MHz cpu & 64mb ram with an Abit BE6 mobo w/ P3 850MHz cpu & 256mb ram that I already had from my kid's old computer.
Now I want to replace their Viper 550 (16mb) video card! I'm trying to do this with the least amount of money (so far I've spent $0 ). I want to spend no more than $50 on a new card that would match well with a P3 850. What do you all suggest?
I'm a bit confused with all the older cards. Can anyone rank the following cards in order of performance?
GF 5200
GF 5500
GF 5600
GF 5700
GF3 Ti 200
GF3 Ti 500
GF4 Ti 4200
GF4 Ti 4600
GF MX 440
GF MX 440-8X
GF MX 4000
ATI 9000
ATI 9200
ATI 9600
My kid currently is running with a GF3 Ti 200 in his XP 2700+ system. I'm considering possibly upgrading his video card and putting the GF3 T200 in the In-Law's. They are not power users, but have 2 kids (14 and 12) that would like to play some games (like Madden Football).
