I bought a ATI Radeon 9200 graphic card last month. I hope the web master could show any test about this radeon 9200. By the way, i am a poor student from China, there are not enough money for me to buy a High-Ends card even a Midrange card. Some reports here claimed that Radeon 9200 is even worse than Radeon 9000. I just wanna know how my card is.

The Radeon 9200 is basically a Radeon 9000 chip with AGP 8x support (which adds no performance, but it doesn't hurt any).

A plain Radeon 9200 should be the same or a little better than a Radeon 9000 because they raised the clockspeeds slightly. It WON'T be better than a Radeon 9000 PRO, which has even higher clockspeeds however.

In some cases however, manufacturers are making Radeon 9200's with a cut-down memory interface... 64 bit instead of 128 bit... and if you are unlucky enough to have one of those cards, it will cut down performance drastically.
