Hi,

Can't help you with your choice of card, but the all in wonder is capable of capturing video from a camcorder and has a tv tuner, etc.

So if you dont need to edit videos etc go for another card.

GeForce FX5200 is the lite version of the GeForce FX...
there is a new one coming and they are rare, is a waste of money if you don't use DX9

Geforce4MX is slower than a Geforce3 Ti500

Radeons of the 9000-9100 series are slow.

If you want to play FS2002 i advise the Geforce3 ti500

Maybe check out what type of cards are being put into hi end machines.  For example www.alienware.com make computers geared towards gaming.  See what type of cards they are using and the mother board it is going into.  I found out the hard way, I bought a 128mb card that fit a 4x slot.  But I didn't have a 4x slot.  The card fit fine, it is just if I had the 4x agp slot, I would get better performance for the card.  It is basically like having a beefy 64mb card.  So what ever card you by make sure you are going to get the max amount of performance possible, because you are paying for it.  Motherboard compatibility, etc.
