Which one ?
I have an ATI Radeon 8500 LE, it's done me well over the last few years ...
but, I've got the possibility of getting a ATI Radeon 9200 .... should I change or not ?
My Motherboard will only support 4x AGP, and I do play games
over to you lot

Stick with the 8500, a 9200 is not really an upgrade.

Re: Which one ?
Just to give you an idea, a Radeon 8500 can manage around 7700 in 3d Mark 2001, a Radeon 9200 only manages around 7000, if you're going to upgrade I'd go for something that's going to give you a marked performance boost, you could try a Geforce 4 Ti, or a Radeon 9600/9800

The 9200 is/was free to me .... so it was just a thought ..... will look into the 9800 at some point, but the 8500 is still doing well ... so will prob wait
Thanks people
