Thanks Peter,

What I am looking for is 3D performance. I will just go and see if I can 
find a comparison of Radeon 9200 and other cards (like my radeon 800 XL).

BTW my own card works well with the radeon driver for 2D, but I am 
looking for 3D performance too (I don't know why, but I like playing 
games :{  )
I will get back to you if I find anything new.

Guus.
