video cards

I have a p3-550 with 192 of pc 133 ram and a xpert 128 16 ram ati video card. In counter strike i would get about 45-55 fps @1024*768. I went and bought a xtasy_5332 mx 200 geforce 2 32 ram and i can't get over 42.5 fps. Even with the new Detonator drivers it still doesn't make a differance. Does anyone have any information that might help me out...PLEASE

Hi Burnout, welcome to the PC Mech forums!

The GeFrce2 MX200 is a crippled version of the regular GeForce2 MX chip, which is already a weaker version of the regular GeForce2 chip. Basically, it's not a very good card for gaming. At the very least I would use a GeForce2 MX400 or a ATI Radeon LE/7200. An even better option would be the GeForce2 GTS-V card that NewEgg.com has on sale for $50, it's a great budget card. Also, your system specs are a bit low so that already limits your FPS potential.
