    5200FX came in AGP and PCI (not PCI-E, as far as I know) variants. You most probably have an AGP type (open your case and see if the card is mounted in a brown slot that is aligned differently to the 3 to 5 cream-coloured PCI slots - if it is then it's AGP).

    If it is AGP would recommend 6600GT based card available from www.komplett.ie from €160. If that is too much, try the 6600 - I've played HL2 at decent frame rateson it.
