You don't want to put a PCI Graphics Card into a system that's capable of
running AGP. I have a Quicksilver 1Ghz DP I have a standard card Geforce 2MX
32MB RAM. I also have a PCI FX5200 with 128MB RAM. I ran XBench on both with no
changes to anything else and the PCI Card scores about 1/2 the performance as
the AGP Card

Subject: Re: EDIT: A good and cheap video card
I'll look into that. I googled NVidia FX5200 and I saw a really cheap 256MB
card but it was PCI. Do pci graphics cards work with the MDD's?
You can't compare Apples and oranges. And Microsoft is the orange here.
