I will swap it for 9600 Pro or XT once i find good offer. Asus 9250 GE 256mb that i use currently is not to stay as permanent decision. It would be good to find 9800 Pro or XT but those are very expensive and very hard to find.

9600 and 9800 are faster of course and generally superior, but the 9250 is a much different chip and has a distinctly different look if you run games at 16bit color depth. It also has supersampling AA, though this was somewhat impractical.

ATi Radeon 9600 Pro / XT are good AGP cards, no extra power needed, i have both with 128MB fast 2.8ns memory chips.
They fit well for late Win9x/early XP games.

I'm just trying to explain that the 9250 is also interesting to play with.

It is great card, i used 9600 XT 256MB model for about 10 days, and it died. 🙁 It looked completely like a new card, no single scratch.

Its not too shabby card, but compare to 9600 model its really luckster, at leaast for my personal needs since i use big 40inch monitor in my dining room and play in a free time with Pentium 3 configuration. 9250 can put maximum 1280x768, but it works the best at 1024x768, 9600xt had for 2800 more benchmark points, picture was much more sharper and it could go without any problems on 1920x1080 on lot of games, Wizardry 8 for example worked like a charm.
