Memory is a real problem in your case as most will meet 128 standard, depends on the interface whether it is 64 or 128 bit interface and if it supports DX 9 (the current standard right now many cards that are 8.1 have problems with new games like F.E.A.R and so on)

The 5700 Le is only 64 bit but the 5700 chipset has more oomph.. than a 5200 and also has more distance in future support than a 5200.... It is only an LE which is a plain old 5700 which is cutoff at the knees on the performance side but you could be able to fix that with overclocking and even unlockable pixel shader pipelines ( I think, you might need to find that out on your own)
