FX5200/5500 = NV34.
They are considered one of the poorest performing designs of
its generation.

Despite having newer 3D features, those suckers are typically
much slower than NV25/28 (GeForce4 Ti) series, even using
those newer 3D features (which the GF4 Ti backfills in the
driver).  Of course, if you're running with the 2D-only MIT
"nv" driver, that matters little.  ;->

Sometimes the NV30 driver will drive newer versions, but it's
recommended you have a XFree/Xorg version with an "nv" driver
that knows about the specifics of your GPU, namely NV34.
