| 410770 | 2005-12-06 22:59:00 | Hi, What one should i buy? I have found both on trademe for around $50. It will be running in a 1ghz machine on a 4x agp bus (until i upgrade). Anyone know which ones better? Thanks Daniel |

| 410771 | 2005-12-06 23:12:00 | me thinks the 9250 would be best, as the fx5200 has poor shader performance, to the point that nvidia stopped producing them in favor of using the older geforce4mx440 but i doubt its performance your after |

| 410773 | 2005-12-07 01:51:00 | I have a Radeon 9250 and also FSim on a P4 1.5mhz 512mb system and it works a treat. | Cptn Hotshot (3904) | ||
| 410774 | 2005-12-07 02:09:00 | Not sure where you will get a Radeon 9250 (128mb) AGP card for $50 on Trademe from. What I have seen is you can expect to pay about $65 + p&P of $7 for a total all up price of $72. Pricespy will bring up cheaper options (including delivery costs) than what you seem to be able to get on Trademe. My all up cost for a GeCube card about a month ago was $60. |

| 410776 | 2005-12-07 02:45:00 | Whatever you do... DO NOT BUY THE FX200 The 9250 will serve you better, by far. cheers chiefnz |

A fully fledged 9250 will set you back about $150. I have a 9250 and a 9550SE, the 9250 will outdrag it easily, I only use the 9550SE as it's got directx 9c features whereas the 9250 is a directx 8.1 card. SE stands for software enhanced, meaning that the CPU gets passed off a lot of work from the GPU. The SE line usually has a 64 bit memory bus, rather than a 128 bit one. |
