i want to purchase a video card for gaming that is better than the one which i got before (geforce fx5200 ) ,it stopped functioning well after 1 year + it made me a lot of problems considering that it's 128 mb and whenever i want to play a big game such as war craft or general or condition zero the vga causes the whole system to fail . i think it was not the original because it was cheap , but now i'm planning to bye an original ATI card . thanks for answering.

the X1650 is one of the latest cards around and is Vista safe.
it is *NOT*, though, a fast card; a 9800(XT) will outrun it most common benchmarks.
it will only run (properly) on a newer motherboard, either with PCI-E or AGP8; you will have trouble getting the card to run properly on any older motherboard only supporting AGP4.
thus, if you have one of those, the Nv5200 (or a 2nd hand 9800XT) should be your preferred choice. none of those will run Vista to its fullest, though

The X1650Pro is much better, just make sure you have the right slot to fit it in. The FX5200 could be either PCI or AGP, and the 1650 Pro could be APG or PCI Express. So you need to make sure you buy the right type for the slot your computer has, but yes the X1650 is better.

Hello,hasjis here.
I think you should go for the ati card. I myself prefer nvidia and never uses ati anymore,but i think the ati you refure to is a litle stronger then the nvidia.Scuse my bad writing.
