he may be able to get by on a 5200 but it really wont have extended graphics or distance in game.

you'd be better off w/ a mainboard swap and a agp card .

I agree, but he needed the cheapest solution possible to improve his performance enough to keep this computer going for the next year at least, more if possible.  Limited to a standard PCI slot for video cards, when almost everyone has stopped making them, the 5200 and the 9200/9250 are about his only options to step up.  There are better deals to be had on better cards in AGP, and I could recommend several cheapo motherboards with an AGP slot that would use his current processor even, but I'm not sure if he's up to swapping out the motherboard on his own.
