I would like some suggestion on what graphics card i should buy. Right now in my PC I have S3 Graphics ProSavage DDR. I have a sharp LCD screen but i feel that the graphics card is a little out-dated. What i want is a simple upgrade ....nothing for gaming, as i dont use my pc for that. someone said this would be good enough GeForceFX 5200.

Thanks in advance.

If its not gor gaming and only for office use then that should be fine, but i would go for the 6200 chipset as not much more price differnece for a fair differnce in quality.

im thinking about buying a computer off someone that has a graphics card called fx5500. Would this work with the game guild wars?The guy who is selling it says that it would play most of todays games.The box og guild wars says i need a geforce 4 graphics card.

what about those laptops that says they have an x1200 grahphics card?are those any good to play todays games?

I would go for the 6200 or the 6600GT for that amount of money, if your not playing games on it then thats all you will really want, FX 5500 is ok but not really much good anymore, depends on what games ur looking to play.
