I need a pci video card and I was thinking about getting the 9250. I don't want the 5700le because I don't have that much to spend. I was wondering does the 9250 support directx 9 and if it does can someone give me a link to a site with a good price on a 128bit 128mb version of one if not I'm gonna get the fx5500.

another question does a pci fx5500 have the power to push 1280/1024 res threw a dvi into an lcd without it lagging there won't be any gaming on the LCD at all.

Unfortunately, the Radeon 9250 has no hardware support of DirectX 9 features. You can run DirectX 9 on a system equipped with a Radeon 9250 - but anything that requires DirectX 9-specific features will be emulated in software, which will be detrimental to the system's performance and cause increased unnecessary CPU utilization. As a matter of fact, the Radeon 9250 is only a DirectX 8.1-generation GPU.
