GeForce MX 5200?

The Dell technical support technician told me that the most recent video card that is compatible with my system is the GeForce MX 5200.  I cannot find the "MX 5200" anywhere.  The only video card I find is "FX 5200".  Is the "MX" correct?  If so, how old is this card?  Will it run today's games?

Thank you in advance!

    I have a Dell Dimension L866r.  Do you need any other info?

    No thats fine...

    Your system has no AGP slot, so you will only be able to add a PCI graphics card...
    They must have made a mistake with the MX... the best available PCI graphics cards are the (128mb Geforce FX5200 pci), or the (Radeon 128mb 9100 pci)

    Hope this helps

    I recommend the Radeon 9100 PCI over the FX5200.

    Do you have a source for the Radeon 9100 PCI?  I have seen the 9200, but not the 9100.

    Just make sure that you choose a 128mb version :)
