Sorry, but I went from a dog Radeon 9200 to a stellar GeForce FX5200.
funny, my Gigabyte 9200 works without fail or problems running games on w98 on vmware on 9.2
Just bought myself a Gigabyte Radeon 9250 - works a treat too. Actually I had trouble initially, the exact same issues I had with the nVidia MX cards: it works after installing the driver, but after I reboot, when X starts, the screen goes into DPMS mode. Disabling apic and acpi at boot time sorted this problem out on the Radeon - haven't tried it with nVidia. There seems to be acpi/apic issues with 9.3 as I've had to disable both to get 9.3 to boot on our server (P-III class server board) too. -- Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com
