I'm considering getting either the e-Ge_Force 5200 with 128 mb or the Visiontek Xtasy 9200 SE with 128 mb. ANy advice on which may be better? I need to replace my onboard video (SiS 652 32 mb) to try and get rid of the stutter and jump trying to run CFS3.

I think the 5200 is a better card but for the same money why not get yourself a Raedeon 9700 pro? Great card. Or for a few bucks more a 9800 pro with 256MB of video RAM. just about any 128 card will give you far better performance copaired to a 64MB card. I run a P4 1.3 Ghz on a Intell motherboard with a retired GB50D chipset,512MB of RDRAM,soundblaster Live Gamer,ATI 8500 128 vid card and I have no studder or stops. I havnt played a game this rig has problems with yet...I'll upgrade in another year or so..just so when I put a DVD rom game into my comp it doesnt lock up and spit it back out....lol Check out www.ati.com ; Good luck m8.

Check Toms Hardware Guide for tests on the two cards.
My card is a 9700P. Very pleased. Good value for the money.
