Well I think a 6200 is the best that you will find for a PCI based computer. The 6200 should be a little better than the 5500 but if you get a new monitor with both DVI and VGA inputs why even buy a new card unless it's just to get the wide-angle view. The 6200 seems to be a little better than your 5500 on GPUreview.com - http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=437&card2=439
not much but a little better. I say go for it and then save for your new system after Xmas. If you have a home for your 6200 later then that's OK.
Good luck

Thanks for the tip Ron. 20/20 is a cabinet layout program. I did a short part-time stint as a kitchen designer and we used 20/20.

Your welcome all.

Glenn,
They are from acad files. You can get them right from Kraftmaid. I will have base, wall, vanity, furniture and entertainment cabinets posted here soon. There are many many many cabinets. If you download the acad file you will have to reverse all of the faces on each one. This is the only downfall.

What is 20/20?

Cool Ron, I will be doing a kitchen redesign soon for my mom and these will come in handy. One question, are you drawing these or exporting them from some cabinet software like 20/20? Very nice to share though

Hi Masta, I recently bought a new Dell 22" wide panel LCD. It works great with SU. I did buy a new video card before the monitor as I was sure my FX5200 would not run in wide view with my new monitor. I went with a GF 6600GT card. Seems to run SU just fine for most models. The good thing is the Dell 22" monitor has both DVI and VGA inputs on the back and can be swithced with the front panel button. I used this feature when I had my old PowerMac 6500 plugged into the VGA port and would just switch over the input and puch the PC's keyboard and mouse over and use the Mac's keyboard and mouse. I don't think the FX-5XXX series can do wide aspect viewing so be careful if you plan on getting one of those. The 6200 card is pretty low tech. I would wait and use this $$ on a new system instead of spending $$ on a PCI based system. I think you would be better off getting a new system with a built-in video card (anything other than Intel graphics) and then a better PCIe card down the road a bit. Good luck with whatever you decide
