ATI 9200np vs.??

I would think more along the lines of a GF4 MX 440. The 9200 non-pro is really nothing more than a Radeon 9000 np with 8X AGP support. I've seen a couple of reviews where the 9200 was barely faster than the 9000 np. I think any respectable Geforce 3 would eat the 9200 np for lunch.
 
Based on its ancestry (i.e. Radeon 9000, re-vamped and scaled down 8500), I'd say a GF3 Ti200 would probably be the closest comparable. In terms of modern cards, say around the level of a really good GF4 MX or a decent 5200 128MB (without AA/AF enabled).

Can't be more exact, since the speeds and quality of those Nvidia cards can vary considerably. For example, I've seen memory bandwith on GF4MXs vary from 6.4 GB/s down to as low 1.3 GB/s (!), and all indications are that the 5200s have similar issues (especially on the crippled 64MB versions). Make sure you stick with a reputable vendor (and 128MB versions) if you go the Nvidia route.


 
It's a great deal for $20. It won't be faster than a Ti200, except with AF, which may be all that matters for that price.
 
well, yrha 20 bucks is a good deal, and since he's 10 i'm sure he won't mind 😉 , as for a comparison i'd say a geforce FX 5200 NON-ultra cuz tats very slow...
