SORRY... IS AS FOLLOWS
The FX5200 is a minimal 64MB video card, while the Radeon is at
least 128MB, perhaps 256MB, and a little faster also. Swap in the
Radeon video card. and since they both use PC3200 RAM you can also
swap in some more RAM from the dead 2.0 while you're at it. Once
you have 4GB RAM and the Radeon card the dual 1.8 should be a
little quicker.
teh 1.8 has 4 RAM slots
the 2.0 has 8 slots
Are teh RAM sticks different size, and swappable?
Other question is can I swap the power supplies, even short term, to
see if that is the real propblem with teh 2.0 (rather than a logic
board failure)?
The 2.0 was a workhorse here...
