I hope it cost you not more then 50$, because even an agin GF4TI would outrun a 9200SE.

My 9800 replaced a 9200SEC, which is only slightly better than your 9200SE. It was the only thing holding my system back. As an example, I did an AquaMark test (gamers benchmark) when I first got my computer, and had a score between 7000 and 8000. Now, it's over 35000 (higher numbers are better), and my CPU is what's slowing me down. Not saying that you wouldn't have trouble with it, I didn't with mine (although my sister's did get mildly fried), but the 9200SE is not a good card.

Thanks to you Ace, I read some of comparisons between GF6600 and Radeon 9800Pro and I chose the latter thanks to your convincing ;)
