I have an FX5200 that I had problems using XvMC, I am
now using an onboard nvidia nforce2 IGP and had
problems using XvMC (which I think I solved using
cvs).  I don't want to discourage you from going with
nvidia since I think my problems are the exception
rather than the rule.  As far as I know there a lot of
people successfully using nvidia cards and the 5200 in
particular.
