I have a geforce 2 gts pro that was worth about 400 when i first bought it. It runs really well. My question is, even though this is a geforce 2 is it better than those cheap geforce fx 5200 128mb?

Why would that matter? Outdated hardware is outdated hardware. (And no I'm not just being a hater for the sake of being a hater, I run an old GF2 also.)

Better since at least the GF FX5200 is DirectX 8.1 compatible comparing the DirectX 7 (GF2).

better for what purpose? It also depends on your whole computer setup. If you're running on a system slower than 500Mhz then there won't be a big diff in speed of a 3d game, but if the game does dx8 it will look a little better.
