New video card

The fan on my Nvidea 5700u locked up so I removed the side cover and used a large external fan. I could then do lite duty stuff but not Trainz so tonight I installed an e-GeForce 6200. It was the cheapest of the two AGP cards I could find, $45.
There was a bit of a problem, the CD was blank. There were no instructions. I found the latest driver and instructions on the interenet so problem solved.
So how much better is the 6200 which by the way has no fan? Noticably. The frame rate is slightly improved and there is a lot less jerkyness, probably because the 5700 had 128M of RAM and the 6700 has 256. Also smoke and a few other effects look better.
I am happy again.:) :D
