Looking for someone who knows which of these 2 diffrent graphics cards would best run Guild Wars.
Nvidia Geforce2 or a Geforce Fx5200
And if its the Fx5200 (which is in my other comp) can i take the Geforce2 card of this comp and swap it with the Geforce Fx5200

The FX5200 is newer and faster.
I think the GeForce 2 is only a 4x AGP card. I have a video card with the 5200 chip and it is 8x AGP.
I don't think you can swap the cards because if memory serves me right, there were different types of AGP slots which used different voltages.

Yes you can swap it Fx5200 is newer than Geforce2. Fx5200 is best to run Guild Wars.
note: carefull in changing video cards. unplug your computer.
if possible add a 256Mb or 512Mb memory.

FX5200 is slow, Geforce 2 is slower. Both are AGP cards, so you could interchange them.
You could consider at least the Nvidia 6200, the ATI 9550 Extreme Edition or ATI 9600 Pro. They are budget cards that are fast and 9600 is very capable of overclocking.
