Can anyone tell me which of these is the better graphics card for mainly
strategy games and flight sims? I am having trouble telling the difference
between the two.
I am using an AMD 2200xp processor with win ME, 512 MB ddr ram.

128MB GeForce 4 MX440 8X AGP DDR AGP Video Card With TV Output £45 plus p+p
or the
GEFORCE FX 5200 128MB DDR DVI TV OUT AGP VIDEO CARD £56 plus p+p

Are the prices reasonable for new items?

Thankyou for any advice!

Lee

My guess is that the games you use wont push the max of either. Look at the
recommended (not minimum) of the most intense game and go from there...

Understandable, but which is the best investment? Im going round in circles
trying to understand the difference. Or maybe anyone could suggest a £50
approx graphics card?
Also I need some suggestions for speakers, must be good quality but id
prefer to pay around £20. I bought some J-S cheap ones and they sound like
an echoy tin bath. Would a sound card improve this?
Thanks all,

Lee
