Whatever you do, stay away from the 5200. I bought one, and had nothing
but trouble (system lock-ups, oopses, crashes, etc). Went to the nVidia
forums and everyone there was saying that it is a complete POS, even in
Windows. So, I ebay'd a Ti4200 and it's been beautiful ever since. I
had been using a GeForce2 GTS with no problems until the fan failed and
the GPU fried.
