i got 2 cards recently, both are from Chaintech.

Geforce FX 5500 256mb.
and
Geforce FX 5700LE 128mb.

Which one should i use in a proper PC setup? (meaning which one is faster, seeing that both seem to be almost equally-fast, and both seem to be compatible AGP 2x/4x (and possibly 8x?)

thanks for your help.

I personally wouldn't qualify this as a vintage question; "legacy" instead perhaps, but I always lean toward more actual hardware video ram in my cards, so in this case the 5500 and not the the 5700LE (LE models usually are less oomph-ish).
 
thanks for your help, but yes, "legacy", but there's no "legacy hardware" section, so this is why i posted here. on GPUReview, they say the Geforce 5500's memory is slightly faster than on the 5700LE, and slightly faster core clock too.
