    not agp or pcie, pci
    i bought a diamond radeon 9250 and i just wanna know if i made a good decision

    o yeah when installin the drivers on the cd that it came with it ****** up my computer; lagged the startup and some other bs, so i ended up loading some omega drivers
    the only thing that bothers me is under the driver properties its recognizing it as a radeon 9200
    should i be concerned about that or naw

    umm, maybe your board is a piece of you know what. you will get nothing from a pci gfx card... you will only go up when you have agp/pci-e or sli...

    yeah i know, its a gateway 300se, about 4 years old and a piece of ****
    i threw in 512 ram along with that card so at least its better then nothin for now
    but yeah, im not expecting bf2 on high, the games i mainly play are games like ut2004, lineage2, etc.

    o yeh and my 2nd question this is what im talkin about
