Gainward 5600 FX really THAT bad?

[tdean]

i know the ram is only 400mhz, but if its in an older pos dell, will it really matter?

Itchy and Scratchy #1325,Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone; strikes the same rib twice but clearly 2 different notes sound. are we to believe that this is some sort of magic xylophone?

All depends on what you want to do with it.

2D, and old DX7/8 games, yeah it'll do ok, but it's not a gamer's card by any means.

well, my friend wanted an inexpensive card for his motocross madness and golf games so i just ordered this one. the biggest problem i see is that the minimum requirements include a 250watt pwr supply. he's got a dell, so i think he's probably in the low 200's. maybe a 230. i wonder if it would work.

Think ti4200 will spank 5600 for less money, right? :tongue:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe, Xp 2500+(3200+), 512MB RAM, HIS Radeon 9500Pro

Yep. Ti4200 is always a good choice in the price range, although 9600 PRO is still the way to go, if cheap enough.

For the Dell, if there is no AGP slot, I got a PCI ATI 9100 last week clocked at 250/250... and it has worked good for muy sister's HP so far...
