Been using that one for quite some time too..... 1.5 years, i think... Pretty good card, albeit a bit slow at times. Tossed it out recently because i lost a RAID5 array due to that card. For some reason two of the 120GB disks connected to it would start clicking regularly, wich killed the RAID5 arra...

Yes, there is a BIG difference between satisfying your homocidal tendencies and satisfying your pyromaniacal tendencies.

Mouse Acceleration - which is crucial in FPS type games. I *really* disagree :) Having mouse acceleration increases the learning curve to get a good aim dramatically, and doesn't really offer much advantages. Just get a big enough mousepad. I use no mouse acceleration, and for comparison, to do a 1...

No matter how you look at it, if you replace that FX5200 by an FX 5950 or (preferably Image) a Radeon 9800 the performance will skyrocket.

Even if it's a POS Dell machine, it still has a 3GHz P4 and 1GB of RAM, it WILL be fairly fast when using a card like that.
