Yes, I agree.

However, PCI cards are never benchmarked, so I can't tell you what to expect performance wise from that card. Not only is the core itself not a spectacular performer, but the PCI bus will most likely limit performance as well.

If you don't want to upgrade your motherboard (which I recommend), this is probably your best option. This FX5700LE PCI card probably will be better than a FX5200 PCI or ATI 9200 PCI card.
