I have a 9200, the little brother of that card, and it works fine at slightly below medium graphics settings. I would get an nvidia though, if I was buying a card right now due to my problems with ati and their driver support.

can you order one online? theres lots of places that sell good mid-range cards.

The 9250 has reported a lot of problems in the forums so I would suggest ordering a better card. The Nvidia 6200 is about $60 online and is a lot better card although I have yet to hear if anyone is using it for SL. The Nvidia 6600 GT is an outstanding card in my opinion and so far has been flawless running SL on my machine.

I am currently using a Radeon 9250. It's a definite improvement over my old GeForce 2 MX -- textures and colours are sharper. I have yet to experience the issues that other people report using SL with this card.

I would not recommend the 9250. It's an old card, and you can get a better card at a decent price. If your town doesn't sell anything beyond the 9250, try www.newegg.com.
