Hey Guys,

I have bought very cheap ATI Radeon PCI 256 MB Video Card.I have already AMD 64 +3700 processor Asus motherboard PC and integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 video card.I am not a gamer but i would like to see better picture on my monitor.So do you think i should install this ATI 9250 Radeon PCi Video Card on my computer or just keep using my integrated video card. As i read on ATI website it support many game already. Or maybe i should buy 512 more RAM instead of this video card? Please help me about it with your knowledge.Thanks in advance. :roll:

Why would you get a pci video card. You can get basic agp/pci-e cards that are miles better than a pci 9250 but granted they will be a little more expensive although not by that much. But what do you mean when you say you want to see better picture on your monitor?

Actually it will cost me only $30 and when i play game sometimes maybe it help little i thought. I meant as better picture that i was thinking if i buy video card system will not drain my ram and will be much faster. Also when i edit picture something like that will help to me.Am i wrong?

Keep the Radeon Xpress and buy more RAM - more RAM will make everything run faster, whereas a new video card won't really make that much of a difference. The integrated graphics are probably faster than any PCI graphics card, too.

you could spend an extra $20 and get a semi decent pcie card for it,

Ive got a friend who tried to run fear on a 9200 pro (basicaly a 9250) and couldnt not accceptbly anyway.

Then again his brother, can run fear acceptably but not pretty with the onboard gfx on the express200
