I'm upgrading my vid card but I only have old PCI slots and Im trying to determine which card would be a better purchase from newegg and would appreciate any help.I know for gaming I should have AGP or PCI-E but for now Im stuck with this box.

Geforce FX5200 128MB DDR

or

Radeon 9250 256MB DDR

I keep hearing from Nvidia users that the GeForce would be better but I was assuming that with the Radeon having more onboard memory it would be a better buy for the pricerange.Any suggestions are appreciated.
