Now that I've changed my mobo to except the AGP 8x cards, I bought a Chaintech FX 5200 128mb ram AGP card from a member here for 10 plus shipping.

If you've got a 5200, either PCI or AGP post your 3dmark2001 se scores and specs... You can download it here: http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark2001.shtml

My specs are as follows:

Celeron 2.3ghz
512mb pc2100
XP Home

My score with the default settings:

4104

Seems kind of low to me, but a lot better than 900 with the onboard video!
-Biostar T-Force 939
-AMD 3200+ 939
-ATI X850XT
-1GB DDR400 Crucial RAM
-250GB WD Sata
-Thermaltake 420w
-CoolerMaster Centurion 5
-Envision EN7410 17" LCD

Well as they say in the electronics/PC world ... you do really get what you pay for!

I also have a ChainTech FX5200, it is better than the onbaord video but really lacks in preformance in gaming. If you are only going to do general PC work and moderate 3D games then its ok. But stick in something like Half Life 2 and you have to play on lowest setting on just about everything. Lite video editing is possible, but slow. It does preform well on picture and graphical editing, unless you get into heavy 3D images. So all in all it does well for slightly above average PC use, but not for an extreme gamer or video/graphical editor.
