I have a Radeon 9550 & recommend it for those on a tight budget...it's basically an underclocked 9600. Most of the Radeon 9250's use a 64-bit memory interface, which means they're not good gaming cards...& as was mentioned, they only support DX8. Video card prices have been dropping somewhat. I agree with heropsycho...probably the best AGP card for under $100 right now would be either the 9600Pro or 9600XT. The 9800Pro has been mentioned lately because newegg has them in their refurbed section for $99...that's a hell of a deal on what not too long ago was THE gaming card to have! You'll be disappointed with the performance of the Radeon 9250 Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

"$767.05" thats a budget? lol, it even sounds to me like your buying from one of those off beat pc companies that mixes parts that have been left over or "refurbrished" and calls it a great deal! (then bait n switch you after with little $30 addons here and there). For $770 you should well be able to build your own pc with a pci-e slot instead of agp, and atleast a dvd burner. I'm not sure how cheap alienware pc's can go for but if your not into putting the pieces together yourself then maybe that'd be a better place to start rather than a "dell", "hp" or whatever else your getting. I mean heck for $770 you should atleast be getting a DX9 card. Haha and why not go Nvidia for a gfx card? lol nvidia never gets no love these days....

you can make an alien ware for half the price if you pick out the parts yourself. if ur gunna spend 770 on a craper like that, why don't you get a dell or something. but come on, a 9250? get a low end 6200 at least. p4 3.0ghz @ 222X15=3330mhz 512mb pc3200 dual channel @222mhz 80gb wd hdd/40gb seagate when on linux 8x agp geforce 6200 @ 530/585can't unlock extra pipes. plz help if you can Audigy 2 ZS<

will a ATI® Radeon™ 9600XT 128Mb DDR AGP DVI fit the bill? Canada and USA's relationship is real easy to understand... Canada points on the map.... USA bombs it

That's better. "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraq insurgency."

they are right about a better graphics card and also a more powerfull power supply. however, the graphics card is if you're willing to spend a little more money. hell, i have a radeon 9200 128mb AGP card, and all the games i've tryed, including doom 3 and other graphics intensive games, it works just fine. people are spoiled with their systems, they think they've got to have THE BEST.

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2146&p=4 Granted, people do overspend on gfx cards, but I have an exceptionally hard time believing you can play Doom 3 "just fine" on a Radeon 9200 when a 9600XT is sucking wind. And just how well does a 9200 do in Doom 3? http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2146&p=5 That's why a 9600XT should be bought over a 9200 or a 9250!

Since ppl are starting to inform me about my power supply is 400W enough? Canada and USA's relationship is real easy to understand... Canada points on the map.... USA bombs it

400watts should be sufficient but i personally would go with 450watts just to be sure...

i used ATITool to overclock my 9200, that could be why it does okay. standard core speed is 250mhz, standard mem speed is 200mhz. i overclocked the core to 325mhz and the memory to 260mhz, so it runs a bit better then a 'stock' radeon 9200
