Greetings ( + )!( + ) Thank you David for your reply, however I've been using the internet for at least 20 years and I've used all of the popular search engine ever since the time when you had to use "AND" "OR" and all of those other search qualifiers. The big problem with search engines are that most of the hits that you receive are based on manufactures hype, which requires a lot of reading between the lines. I live in the Silicon Valley and have worked for some of the suppliers and know how and why the advertisement sheets are put together. What I'm looking for is the users bottom line of how it has worked out for them. What you have posted leads me to believe that the Radeon 9200 is a very fine card, but only if you have the basic platform to take advantage of it's power. My Monitor can not go as hi in resolution as the Radeon can provide so that is an over kill. My Rage AGP card can provide a resolution that is so high that if I use the highest resolution that everything becomes so small that I can not read the text. So for my platform it looks like the Radeon 9200 wouldn't be anything except another "Iron Ball" residing within my machine. Please don't take this post as an attempt to belittle the information that you have provided, however I would like to hear from others that use this card or another card that will increase the speed of display. Or perhaps AGP cards that will hold more look ahead. Thanks again. ---------------------------------------------------- On Sep 29, 2006, at 1:57 PM, David M.
