which 1 is better?

Yes, the 5500 is better, but neither card is particularly good. If you're on a tight budget, consider an ATI 9600 series card.
 
Aight good cuz I was gonna get both of them (1 for me, 1 for my lil brother) but newegg keeps saying payment failed so I'll get my stuff from tigerdirect as soon as the cancel the order.

You can't always go by the model number, since obviously a 7300GS isnt better than a 6800Ultra. But generally speaking, the higher model number is better when you're comparing two video cards in the same catagory, such as a FX5200 and a FX5700.
 
ok what's better? eVGA Geforce FX5500 256MB 128-bit DDR AGP or Radeon 9250 256MB 128-bit DDR AGP. I'm stuck with those 2 since my order has been succesfully charged on newegg. I'm upgrading from a 32MB ATI Rage 128 Pro AGP so I'm sure I'll be satisfied with either. I plan on playing sims 2 which is not very pleasant to play with my current videocard, and Start playing guild wars which seems interesting enough.
 
sorry, but not Radeon for me. the only thing better about it is the VIVO Capacity, which i think the Radeon has it.

The 9250 is not better then the FX5500.

Don't suggest things if you have no idea what is actually better.

lol get the fx 5500

btw just a thought, what is your budget, im sure we can find you a good card inside that budget for example a 9600 pro for $45 or a 9550 for under $25

Oh looky a 9800se for $40
