2- nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP 8x
Heres comparison

and i made my mind to buy one of these two, but i don't know that much about video cards, so what do you guys think should i pick to play games (it doesn't have to be the lastest games)?
And please guys i need your opinion on these two video cards only
thanks

Both of those cards are horrible for gaming, especially the fx5500. If you want to play anything legit, at LEAST get a 7600gt AGP if not the 3850.

so are you saying that "nVidia GeForce FX 5500" is bad than "nVidia GeForce 6200"

theyre both bad cards now,The 6200 will strugle with BF2 on medium settings and it will look crap.

like diduknowthat said,i wouldnt go with anything less than a 7600GT.

i'm not really into other video card than nvidia, to be honest this is the first time i heard about ATi Radeon, and i want to be sure to spent my money into something perfect or the best
but from the comparison here
http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=550&card2=511#
"nVidia GeForce 7950 GT AGP" has better rating than "ATi Radeon HD 3850 AGP"
and i don't know anything about memory clock or memory bandwidth

Yeah if you don't care about the money, then why are you even trying to upgrade that dinosaur? If you want to save money and just get an upgrade to give it some decent grunt then get the AGP 7600GT.

it's not like I'm that rich or i have so much money to spent
i just have the money to buy the video card for now and i'm not that PC gamer, i used my PC to watch movies and using the internet only, so why new PC?
recently my PS2 broken and it beyond repair T_T, so i need alternative games to play and here i am :)

and i think i will go for "nVidia GeForce 7950 GT AGP8x"
because in this link it doesnt show if the video card AGP or PCI

It should all depend on what type of games you play.. but the 7600GS or GT would be fine.. although Im not sure if those are still in production.. I was gonna buy the 7600GT PCI-Express but they dont have it anywhere, and i dont really trust ebay and such, so now i have to get the 8600GT..
