I have the following system:

AMD Duron 850 Mhz
512 MB Ram
Windows 98
Gigabyte GA-7ZX motherboard with a AGP 2.0 compliant slot.

I was wondering if the GEFORCE FX 5700 LE 128 MEG or 256 MEG was either
too much for this system meaning it won't work or way too advanced for
it? Should I get the 128 MB or go for the 256 MB?

I currently have a ASUS Geforce2 MX 32 MB video card.
Let me know. Thanks.

Well I had an Athlon 700MHz with 512MB RAM and I found that my GeForce2
MX seemed to be bottlenecked somewhat by it. When I upgraded my mobo and
cpu the video seemed to speed up as well. I figure Win98 may hurt it as
well. Also that motherboard only supports up to 4x AGP according to the
manual, and the PNY GeForce FX 5700LE 128MB (which I have right now)
supports up to 8x. I just recently (about 2 weeks I think) upgraded my
motherboard for that exact reason (only a 4x AGP) and noticed a boost in
video instantly.
