A friend of mine is looking to upgrade his graphics card in December so he can play Battlefield 2 with me.
He wanted to get this:

But I was telling him to get this:

I know they're both PCI, but that's all he seems to have. He doesn't have the option of replacing a motherboard because his money is really tight. (He can only afford to upgrade the graphics at the moment, nothing else) I'm trying to figure out if he has an AGP slot, though.
In short, which is better? The X1300 or the 6200? I did a quick search on the two and the X1300 was clocked at 450 MHz with a 4x1x2 setup (Pipe, TMU, VPU) while the 6200 seems to be at 300 MHz with a 4x1x3 setup. From a pure mathematical standpoint, the X1300 seems to be superior, but I want a second opinion and possibly a suggestion for something cheaper or more effective.
Thanks!
Edit: Alright, I got him to show me what CPU Z says for him, I don't know if this will help any or not, but it seems likely that he doesn't have a graphics card
