If your card works, I would not bother looking for another BIOS . There is nothing to be gained there, IMHO , as the FX 5200 and FX 5500 are practically identical, save for clock speed .
That being said, and at the risk of bringing your hopes down even lower, read this AliExpress AGP cards .

Is the card seen as an FX5500? As darry said, the only difference is the clockspeed. What clocks is it set to by default?

What I want for my collection, despite having an FX5950 is an FX5200 Ultra.

On a side note, I also have a fake FX5200 that I bought on eBay. The box is super generic. When I took off the heatsink to check it out, it was an FX5200 chip and to top it off, there was a paper sticker with Chinese writing on it in between the GPU and heatsink.

I cant get the damn thing to work, clean install of 98se and after installing chipset drivers, monitor randomly crashes and I get "unsupported resolution" bugs. Even if I forgo the chipset drivers the same thing happens.

I cant even get into the control panel to tell. Card is giving me random crashes and resolution errors before I can even open rivatuner

I filed a dispute, I'm not paying for return shipping if they want me to either. If the bios wouldn't have been flashed I would have probably just kept it as a 5200 and been okay with it.

Another recent thread on these: Is this card a fake?

disappointing for you, hope you get a refund

I'd always understood an fx5500 to be a slightly 'overclocked' fx5200 and reportedly no easily perceived difference in performance in most scenarios

I'm quite like fx5200's; cheap, fanless and simple with stable drivers and mostly equal to geforce 2 and 4 (mx400) for most games

What are the rest of the system specs?
