Download the utility, install and run, and copy/paste all under:
Operating System
System Model
Processor
Main Circuit Board
Memory Modules
I know that we already have the basics on a couple of these stats, but there are a few quirks that I'd like to see. Try to organize what you paste; check it in preview first. Otherwise it's near impossible to interpret.
MetalX: Yes, 5200s aren't great. GeForce 2? Hyperbole. They fall around the lower end of the 4s. EDIT: Oops! Did I put you on my ignore list?
Although I generally use nVidia cards, I think in the price range of a 5200, the ATI cards are better. I'm no expert with ATI, but as I've seen I believe that a high-end model of the 9600 might do well for the price range. Make sure when searching for budget cards that you get at least a 128bit card! The 64bit pipelines will severely cut performance for any card!
Last, but not least, do you have a dollar amount for how much you can spend?
