Gainward FX 5200 Graphics Card

How good is this card when it comes to gaming? I want to play games like B&W, Generals, etc as smoothly as a low-priced 128MB card can get me.

That Gainward FX 5200 isnt all that good for gaming its a simple video card maybe you can look into some ATI Radeon Series like the Radeon 9200, 9500 would be real good for your needs.

Agreed, spend a little bit more and go for the ATI Radeon 9600 which is the best bang-for-the-buck card at the moment.

isn't the ti4200 a bit more, if not quite a bit more expensive than the fx 5200?
