Can anyone tell me about this graphics card??

[Zuke]

I have no clue about graphics cards in general but with thinking of getting one for games as my current built-in is obviously crap, so can anyone tell me if this is worth the money or not....or would there be any compatibility problems with games??

It's an XPERTVISION RADEON 9200SE 128MBDDR going for 54,95 EUR (about 40ish in real money I think) and the stats on the website are:

Technical data: ATI Radeon 9200 SE chip set · 128 MB GDR storage · TV-Out and DVI-Out · AGP 8x support · Max. Resolution: 2048 xs 1536 · Max. Colour Depth: 32-bit · RAMDAC 400 MHz.

Anyone got any ideas??
Cheers,
Zuke

Total crap. To have decent performance get a 9600 XT.

I would recomend an Nvidia but they seem to be lagging behind.

Is it that bad?? :(

I'm not looking for a top-end fantastic card.....just something that'll let me play some of the more recent games, Knights of the Old Republic and the like. So basically I don't want to spend a fortune on something that won't get loads of use, just a cheapish one :D

If it's not good enough for even that, then would anyone have suggestions for a decent cheap card that is??

Cheers,

The 9200SE isnt a totally crap card and would play the games you listed, However the card Tom suggested is much better and will allow you to play games for the next 2/3 years without any problems, and is better value from money
