Never see low end card threads

[high]

I am just inquiring because I haven't really seen this discussed on here. I currently, unfortunately, have a 128mb Radeon 9200. Wondering what exactly my options are...?? If you're wondering why I have it, a rep from ATI was at my work and gave all of us 9200's when they were released, so that covers my rear for that. But, I am wondering if it's possible to flash it to a 9500??

Nope, it's not possible to flash a 9200 to a 9500.

No, Your 9200 is based on the R2xx core, 9500pro is a completely different architecture.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. My other question is concerning overclocking. I've used the radeon tweak util and powerstrip on my old board and this board. I had a p4 1.6 on an intel board and this card oc'd like champ, but on this board (DFI LP NF2 U) it doesn't wanna get any head room. Would having my agp locked @ 66mhz affect this?

AGP lock is a good thing. Leave it alone if you like system stability.

System stability is only good if you use your system for non-gaming reasons. Unstable systems are a lot more fun if you're as much of computer fanatic as I am.

but most people hate unstable systems, so yeah, lock it up
