    Those are both good cards but I would take the geforce4 TI.
    That Texas Instruments chip is one powerfull and fast processor.

          You're right Chewy.
          And all this time I was under the impression that the TI Series was an Texas Instruments graphics processor OEM’ed to Nvidia.

              sorry to say i think neither will play it reasonably. the titanium is slightly faster than the 5200 but isn't dx9 compatible, it may not run newer games at all.

              i'd go with the 5200 just for dx9 and dxva. to play any 2005/2006 game at a reasonable res and framerate requires a geforce 6600 or ATI equivalent at least. the 5200 chugs along even with NFS underground (the first one)
