Is this worth the money?
Is this worth the money or is there a better deal around? Been out of the vid card market for a while and it's time to upgrade but below $100. Thanks

I think its a great price for that video card. At least considering the prices here in Sweden. Have to check more to compare with prices in the US. But I think its worth the money, that is a great video card.

I'm not sure if you guys can get it, but over here I can grab a Radeon 9600 for under £100, or a Nvidia Geforce 5600FX for under £100, which are both better than that card, obviously there are price differences, but everything is cheaper over the pond than it is here.

Yeah, but £1=10mk=$1,6, so, £100=$160
The fx5200 is pretty bad card, I wouldn't get it. Get the r9600np instead.

Oh, you might be able to get a 9600 SE, it is not as good as a 9600np, but it is cheaper.

The 9600se costs as much as 9600np.
The 9600se is crap.

So, does the Radeon 9600np have 128 or 256 RAM? Is the extra RAM worth the extra cost? And which is most important: the amount of RAM or the quality/speed of the RAM?
For the money, I can't find any Radeon-based cards in that $77-100 range. There are several at NewEgg for $95-107 but I don't think those are the good ones.

Come on, I know the FX series isnt the best, but that is a nice card anyways. And the pricetag is nice too, at least for me. But of course I would get a Radeon 9600 anyday over that one. But the 5200 isnt a bad card, at least IMO.
