right now i’m running an ATI 9800 PRO 128MB in my comp just a few days ago I bought(for my second comp) ATI 9200, now the auction says 256MB but I can only find online that they made 128MB ones? anyone clear this up? second question is which one would be better to run in my main gaming comp? a buddy of mine wasn’t sure in saying that the 9800 would be better ---

The 9200 is a turd of a GFX card,its based on the radeon 8500 which is one old ass card.The 9800 pro blows it out of the water and its even a great card with alot more left in it,meaning the rest of your system is a bottleneck for it.It would be a total waste of money to buy a better AGP card because almost everything is PCI-E now. ---

I know pci-e is that way to go, i’m not a computer newb, just have been out of the loop for about a year so not totally caught up on the times yea my systems are old, but they do what i need them to
