What is the difference (if there is any) between the GeForce cards and Radeon? Which one is better for playing games? if i take both on the same price scale.

definatly Radeon, but be sure to make the right choice. There are several Radeons available today. For the lower end computers (800MHz~1600MHz), the Radeon 9600SE and 9800 are good enough. But if you want brute strength to go with your high end system (2,0GHz~3,2GHz) you may want to go for the Radeon 9800PRO or 9800XI. The XI is with €499,- the most expensive card.

Until of course the next generation ATI cards start shipping (probably next month...) ;D
nVidia will get the "Fastest..." crown back (but not by very much if the most recent benchmarks I've seen are to be believed) and with any luck the pricing on the current top-end cards should drop almost straight away; the higher end nVidia NV40-based card is due to cost $399 (US at a guess) at release.

For those that want to know, the overclocking of nvidia seems fairly painless once you have the coolbits registry edit downloaded. It even has an automatic feature to detect the best overclock which worked fine and found me an extra fifty Hz or so on processor and memory speed.

So, I got a GeForce 5200FX installed in my system, can I overclock it reasonably safely and how would I go about doing this?

Well, overclock an Geforce Fx5200 it´s really easy and +/- safe if you don´t "push real high" the chip! First depends of the label of your Geforce... if it´s an MSI, like mine, there´s Software from MSI with the board CD-Rom that allows you to change speeds very very easily... if the label it´s other than MSI, download the software "GeForceTweakUtility" and you will be able to change the speed of core and mem!
On case of MSI, if you don´t change the original cooler of the card, don´t go more far than CPU - 300 Mhz and Mems - 470 Mhz... if you upgrade the fan, to one of good quality and speed, like me, you could push at leat CPU - 375 Mhz and Mems - 650 Mhz... The improve it´s really significativ and the graphics really better!
But to overclock don´t forget, use a quality fan, and if the label of your card it´s not very trustable (i just trust completely on Asus, MSI, Powercolor and Chaintec) don´t push very mush, becouse you can damage forever your card! :@

Does MSI sell other fans besides the one already on the card? I dont remember seeing any........
