A new video card might not be necessary now. I bought a couple of DVD's
today and they seem to play ok. No ghosting to speak of. There must
have been something wrong with that first DVD.

I think I might try that FX5200 anyway. It can't hurt to get better
performance. The current card is pathetically old. I think that would
be the last upgrade for this box, though. It's not worth spending much
more on it.

Thanks for your help, Len.
