MSI Eclipse Plus: Does nForce 200 Boost 3-Way SLI?

With 36 lanes of PCIe 2.0, 3-way SLI could be the X58 chipset’s biggest challenge. If that turns out to be true, is Nvidia’s nForce 200 controller hub, which multiplexes the platform's connectivity, a solution? We compare three configurations to find out. Read more

Just have this PowerColor 9250 Game FX Board Series (powered by Radeon
9250).

Can someone help me clarify few things before I unsceal this box?

1) Is this card AGP or PCI ? (I read a lot of times that Radeon 9250
is PCI-based although this box indicates in system requirements that
one must have an empty AGP slot...)

2) I read somewhere here that Powercolor ofen have some bad history...
then that a card showing 128bit should be avoided...

I presently use a Matrox Millenium G450 AGP (dualhead) with 16MB
memory.

Let's put it this way: I already consider that I have an excellent
video card with my Matrox, and I simply want to be able to play
occasionnally games (MYST IV, others that now won't play with the
Matrox...)


Thanks,
Rob

System : P IV, 1.6 Ghz, 512 or 768 MB RAM

Available in PCI and AGP formfactor

Not true. 256Mb bottom feeder card typically have slower memory that their
128Mb siblings. In the Powercolor 9250, they're both the slowest possible:
200Mhz

rox, and I simply want to be able to play

See response below, if the 9600XT is too rich for your blood, the 9550 is
another choice. It's basically a 9250 with DX9 hardware support. Slow core,
slow memory but better overall than the 9250. Benches about 10,000 3DMark01
/ 2500 3DMark03 on a Barton 3200

The 9250 will be AGP, otherwise it would have printed
on the front "PCI".
