Right now my system is
1.1ghz AMD Athlon
256 pc100 sdRAM
FIC AZ31 (compaq OEM version)
60 gb Hard Drive
TNT2 M64 32 mb Pro (AGP)
48x cd-drive
standard floppy disk drive
and a 250 Watt PSU

i want to upgrade and add another 256 mb RAM and replace my TNT2 with a 128 mb 5200 fx PCI video card. will this be ok with my current PSU??
 
Depends on the brand. I would recommend getting a 300W powersupply just to be safe though.
 
whsts the point in upgrading to that card. Thre kind of like the same!
 
You dont need to just get the card and if it works fine which it should then no worries.

a 32mb tnt2 pro = 128mb 5200 fx??... :/.... um, not really.

well any suggestions on a better PCI card (not PCI-E)
 
Anyone who says a TNT2 pro is faster or as faster as a 5200 FX (even if it is PCI) doesn't know what he is talking about.

Why can't you just get a better AGP card?

tried it, but because of a weird AGP voltage thing in my mobo it can't take anything greater :(
The tnt2 was the last card to use this voltage, i even tried a geforce 2 mx 400 but that was the first card using the modern voltage thing...
 
Ouch that stinks... :( Well I would say to get a new board but that may not be what you are looking for. PCI isn't really used that much for video cards anymore.
