I got a P4 1.6 pc with win xp pro, 256 SD ram mu mother borad is AGpP 4x. Will this card perfectly on my pc. other thing, I saw is some cards now comes with a heatsink instead of a fan. Is that better than a fan. Please help me decide.	polo (6383)

311863	2005-01-08 07:50:00	Hi Polo, I'm running a 5200 card with 128 mb. Hope you are not planning on playing 3d games with it. It's quite a good card for my needs but 3d it's not. Jack	JJJJJ (528)
