need advice on PCI card

[cooter brown]

I only have intel integrated graphics so i need a video card. All I got is a PCI slot. Just need suggestions on the best pci card. Was thinking of the GeForce FX5200. Mainly for gaming, and like to keep price $150 and under. Thanks.

Ya the best video card for a PCI slot is the 256mb 128-bit Geforce FX.

The 256mb version is not worth the big price premium over the 128mb version.

what does and extra 128mb alow the computer to do?

Not much of anything really, I dont believe there are any games out that would utilize the extra 128mb, which i think is utilized for extra particle effects and such. Stick with the 128mb version, like glc said its not worth the price difference.
