Highy Recommended for Old ComputersMay 12, 2007
By James
I'm writing this review mainly in response to the review criticizing the card for not being able to attain a resolution higher than 1280 x 1024. I almost did not try this card because of that review, but in the end decided to give it a go anyway. In short, I am currently running this card at 1680 x 1050 resolution on a brand new Dell 20'' Widescreen UltraSharp monitor. Make no mistake, resoultions higher than 1280 x 1024 are attainable with this card.

I purchased the card to upgrade my computer, a Micron, Intel PIII with integrated graphics purchased in June of 2000. Despite my 150W PS, the card works great for my needs which include web browsing and basic text editing, etc. In addition, I especially like the DVI ability as many of the PCI cards I looked at only included VGA. The image on my LCD with DVI is awesome and it makes me wonder how I lived with CRT for so long. Without this card, the text on my LCD flickered whenever the processor faced a heavy workload (burning, Itunes, etc.); I do not have that problem anymore.

The only complaint I have about this card is that the fan is a little annoying (high-pitched), and my computer produces a little more heat nowadays. You do get used to the noise after awhile!

I would highly recommend this card for anyone in my situation who would like to upgrade an older system and alleviate some of the graphics work from the main processor, along with attaining an incredible image on a new LCD display. I tried two other cards--the PNY GeForce FX5200 256MB PCI card, and the Chaintech P-FX20 256MB GeForce FX5200 PCI card. The former was decent, but I did not like how it did not have DVI-support. In my opinion, if you your monitor supports it, DVI is the only way to fly. The latter, despite having DVI, did not perform nearly as well as my ATI 9250 card (opening windows was slower and choppier--I experience none of this with my ATI). In my opinion, go with the ATI 9250; it's cheaper and I think the performance is markedly better!

Other upgrades I made to this computer include the following: upgrading the 20G HD to 120G Seagate 7200 RPM (from Amazon), upgrading the memory from 256 to 512 using Mushkin RAM (from Newegg), and upgrading the two optical drives from basic CDRW to two NEC ND3550A DVD +/- DL RW (from Ebay). I run Windows XP Professional. I tried Windows Vista Home Basic, but opening windows and performing basic tasks was too slow.

Better than expectedFeb 04, 2007

Bought this to replace the 64mb onboard graphics in an Emachines computer setup as a PVR. Prior to installing this card my ATi HDTV Wonder tuner card would only work on one channel; now it works on all. Still some occasional stutter but I think it is related to my PVR software (BeyondTV 4.5). Despite what the first photo shows, this card does have a fan. The photos that show the red card are accurate. Great price if the rebate comes through.

Dell E310 and Radeon 9250Mar 07, 2007
By R. Baird "Bob"
Sucessful but somewhat painful. Diamond board I received did have fan and runs DirectX 9. Installation disc would not run automatically but did get the drivers installed. Then went to ATI and downloaded newer drivers and ATI Catalyst. I also downloaded the Diamond Tools Overclocking Utility. Card very stable and runs great. One old game I had I had to go to the VideoCard.txt file and add the 9250 and card ID. It had the 9200 but not the 9250. This was extremely painful for a rookie like me. Even that runs great now. Very satisfied with this old dinosaur card PCI bus card for the $$ paid.

Outstanding Video CardApr 10, 2007
By Mr. Robert A. Wine Jr.
Diamond Stealth ATI 9250 PCI 256MB Video Card ( S9250PCI256 )

This is a great video card. It installed effortlessly and ran with the drivers out of the box. The color was amazing, and the horsepower was incredible. It ran high end games with no problems.

Does the JobDec 31, 2006
By David P. Provost "jimhenjimi"
I still have a Compaq Presario Pentium III, I'm yet to upgrade but I got spoiled at work using a 21" monitor and decided to upgrade my monitor at home.

I bought a 22" widescreen for $200 at Bestbuy(Black Friday) and found out my old video card didn't support this monitor.... With the new card the graphics are great. Money well spent. My old card was only 16M also.

So bottom line is it's a great card for the money.
