Awsome [Posted on 2007-08-02]
I bought this video card because i dont have either PCI-E or AGP motherboard and was therefor stuck with the sucky Intel Intergrated Graphichs controler. Thats right it wasnt even a graphic card. i was unable to play many games i had. i ordered this and it arrived much faster than i thought. When it arrrived it was wonderful. it performed beypnd my expectations for a PCI card. I highly recommand this for a low cost, great performance card.

Great card through the test of time. [Posted on 2007-11-03]
This was my first card for my PC when I bought it early 2005. Radeon 9250 256mb PCI. Good thing I decided to hang on to it. My ATI x1300 AGP blew out and I went back to this card. I didn't want to shove out $200.+ dollars for a new 512mb. card. After owning this card for over 3+ years, I am happy to see it works well with most games I play.

The Radeon 9250 256mb PCI card is a great card for around $85. - $115. dollar price range (I paid around $160. for it 3 years ago. Compared to $199. For the AGP version of this card). Out of all the graphic cards I've owned, the Radeon 9250 256mb PCI runs the coolest. I never had any overheating problems associated with it.

I recommend this card if you are: 1.) Low on funds and want a decent graphics card. Since AGP cards run a lot more in price. 2.) If you don't have a AGP slot on your motherboard and want to experience 3-d gaming with out all the lace and foo-foo effects associated with higher end cards. 3.) Want something better than built-in motherboard graphics. Just remember to update to the latest drivers at the ATI website. If you decide to use it as your main graphics card.

FFXI Online runs great on defaults. Smooth game play. If you turn up the graphics, it tends to get a bit choppy.

Secondlife plays well on defaults.

World of Warcraft plays well on defaults with smoothness, no lag, or choppiness. If you turn up the graphics, it tends to get a bit choppy.

EQ2 works great on default settings. Smooth and no choppiness. If you turn up the graphics it will chop up on you.

PSU is a bit choppy on this card. The opening movie and offline mode mini movie clips chop up a bit. But the game is still playable and works well at normal default settings. PSU runs a lot smoother in low res mode with the card. The in-game videos are choppy period. There is no fixing it with this card.

Its was a good card for the past two years [Posted on 2007-12-07]
I bought this card around 2005, it played almost everygame. The games it has trouble playing was BF2 and DoD Source. Its a good card since it played GW,WoW,Fifa08,NFS Carbon,Most Wanted,Call of Duty2 all in High Preformances or almost at the highest. As of right now i just ordered the VisionTek Radeon X1550, guessing it will let me play oblivion,BF2,BF2142 and other some newish games i can try. I hope it works well since im guessing is a couple generations ahead of 9250 plus its only around 45$ diffrence now. I really hate being stuck with a PCI Computer (Dell Demension 4700) but what can you do exept getting a cool XPS for a grand.
