Default Installing graphics cards.. help!

Ok so i have 2 graphics cards one of which i just installed...

Radeon 9550XL 256mb (the one i installed)

and a GeForce FX5200 DDR 256mb PCI

i got both of these for free so i didnt bother to research as i would if i was actually spending money, and i am clueless when it comes to this stuff anyways so...

1.) which one is better and..

2.) after installing the radeon i went to start WOW (im on a personal quest to get wow working smoothly on dial-up) and my computer crashes.. i ran a few other games after turning my comp back on and they all work fine, so far i have no problems except the whole WOW thing.. i had no problem with the default graphics card (well i suppose getting about 6-10 fps on wow is a problem but at least it worked). Any insight would be great! Thank you!

Might be more than your graphics card? Go here (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest) and find WoW and see if your other components up to the minimum requirements.

Well WOW worked before the graphics card was installed. the frames per second just sucked cuz the old graphics card was so bad.

I don't krw much about Radeon because I'm an Nvidia fan boy but I know for a fact that an Nvidia 5200 can run wow on medium graphics settings with no problems.
