i got 2 computers and i am putting in a geforce 5200 FX to my old one my brother uses it sometimes so yea this is my last upgrade for that computer is geforce 5200FX lasts long time?? or 5500?
Wont be able to play any newer games
The FX5200 and FX500 won't be able to play anything newer than World of Warcraft amd UT2004 at near the lowest qualities.
Based on your other post of system spec and budget constaints, just drop in the 5200FX and let you brother be happy for what he has. Memory constaints will prevent you from playing WoW or UT2004 very well anyway regardless of the graphics card.
you guys missed my point i was asking that how long i can use the geforce 5200?( more than 4 years?) also im not using this card for gaming i got new gaming one this old one is for internet use
You shouldn't need anything fancy for Internet Use. I have an old system with an ATi Rage 128 that works just fine for Internet stuff, the 400MHz Pentium II is a wee bit slow though.
Under normal use, your card should last more then 4 years. The oldest video card I have in use is about 6 years old.
