    Yes, I know they are old cards. Yes, I know they are crap compared to today's standards.

    But, for a casual gamer, what is the better deal:

    1. A used PNY 128 MB GeForce FX 5600 Ulltra for $40 or less
    2. A used Gainward 128 MB GeForce FX5700 Ultra for $50 or less
    3. A new BFG 256 MB 6200 OC for $80. (really, my max budget)

    Or, better yet, what would be a good price for #1 or #2?

    I should have mentioned, I am restricted by a 4x slot and a 250 watt PSU.

    Nope. That is exactly the source of my confusion.

    Both the specs from Dell and PC Wizard say that the port is version 1.0.

    http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dkub/specs.htm

    While the ATI support page says "2.0 compliant." Unless that means COMPLIANT but not required and backwards compatible??

    So if it fits, its all good?
