Ok this may sound kinda lame but im using an older computer( Emachines, 2 GB ram, 2.0 ghz, windows xp...yeah lol) well im looking at 2 graphics cards to replace my crappy fx 5500 which is a very very bad card. I have an agp slot and i did have a HD radeon agp series card which i know is just about the best agp you can get but it messed up on me for some reason so im back to my geforce fx 5500 lol. I plan on upgrading in the next 2 months so to a new comp with a pci express but i just need a quick fix till then so my options are limited to agp and pci plus why spend another 120 dollars on an hd series card again when i can use that 120 towards a new comp. Now, with all that crap out of the way i was looking at the EVGA geforce 6200 AGP 512mb 8x DDR2 OR the PNY 8400 GS 512mb PCI GDDR2, both are the same price at 50 dollars. Yeah i know both cards suck but i just need somthing better then this 5500 and till i get my new comp cuz i cant take this crappy card anymore. and 5500 is only pixel shder 2.0 where the other 2 are pixle shader 3.0
