they only make 128 mb ones in PCI for the 5700 at least thats all i saw on newegg but it should do well and it looks like a decent graphics card and should play games at least on low settings heres a link to one

the 5700LE is the best pci card

 

[jp198780]

yeahh, i was going 2 ask you guys about that.

The FX5700LE is the best PCI card.

However to answer your question, the FX5500 is significantly better than the 9250. It's even better than the 9550.

i couldnt find the 5700LE on Ebay, whats the next best 1?

also, im not going 2 be doing extreme gaming, just a little, not like CS, Battlefield etc, just basic games.

those cards will run CS easily im sure.
in my opinion your tower is outdated and depending on your budget you may want to get a new box (insides and all).
what games though? all those cards will run games... depending on what quality.

 

[jp198780]

im not gonna go all out gaming, im just gonna play games like racing, and deer hunting games.

oh then get any of the above. make sure it has 64mb of integrated memory and 128 is preferred. lol
