The GeforceFX 5200... Ditch it. Seriously. Buy a different card, even a 5500. The 5200 is a terrible gaming card.
I regret buying my 5200, even though it was an "emergency purchase" (i.e. I needed an AGP card for my motherboard, cheap, and in one day). As a hold-out until I can buy a better card, it's fine, but otherwise I have to work hard at getting decent a FPS with most games.

Oh, believe me, I know exactly how TERRIBLE the 5200 is. Look up some of the threads on it, and you'll see me ranting about it for pages. :P But for a gaming box that needs minimal video processing power, it will do just fine. Besides, all the big-league cards don't support composite video out! It's a dying standard anyway.
