is this a good deal on a video card

Is this a good deal on a geforce card?? I have a crappy geforce 2mx 32 mg and its getting slow on some games that I tried. I have a pIII 1.0 ghz pc with about 768 mgs of ram. Would you guys buy this or get something else? Im not a huge gamer but I play some. I play xbox mostly. My bro has a radeon 9000 pro and he likes it and told me to get one of those, he also paid $99 for that. Thanks.

MY rule of thumb is that you never buy something from a yahoo store. Those guys are sketchy.

I don't think it's worth saving a couple bucks by risking the fact that you may not get the right item, may get a defective item, may not get a refund for returns, etc.

besides the yahoo store front, this deal was listed on apex's mainpage. What do u think about the card itself the specs and price? Thanks.

That much for that unimpressive videocard? :o

GeForce FX 5200 is Nvidia's new low end card.

Ive done some searches on the net for reviews or specs and it seems pretty ok for a $99 card. Thing is I really dont want to spend more than $100 on a card since I dont game as much as I use to. I just want something better than my geforce 2mx 440. What would anyone reccomend for $100 besides the geforce 5200.

How about the GeForce 4 Ti4200. :)

Well it is an off topic question. Better here than the hot deals section. I guess I could of put this in the hardware section.. oops didnt see it.
