???? 200$.... You must be kidding me....
I live in Croatia and Radeon 9800PRO 256Bit with 128MB
costs around 500$!!!!!

Judging by your spectacularly low benchmarks, I would guess that
you have a 9200SE installed. "SE=****ty Edition". To put things in
perspective, I just built a system for a buddy...Barton 2500
running stock, Soltek Nforce2, 1x512Mb PC3200 and an MSI FX5200
128Mb DDR card. All the latest NForce and Detonators installed,
this baby gets a screaming 5400 in 3DMark 2001. So the bottom
feeder NVidia cards are crappy too. You can expect a GeForce4 MX
440 to bench better than your 9200SE.

OK...It doesn't matter anymore. I'll buy 9600XT next week.

P.S. My 9200 ISN'T SE version. It's a normal 9200 version with NO
sufixes....

You may want to spend the extra and get the 256 MB version instead of
the 128.

No no no please don't! (only if there is no price difference you could try
it).

You see really no difference at all, even at 1600*1200 with 4x FSAA and 16x
Anisotropic filtering, and a mid-range card like the 9600 XT is too slow to
be able to bring good FPS at those settings anyway.
