<div class="IPBDescription">... same card on each, difference?</div> I got <b>two</b> ATi Radeon 9200 graphics cards. I only just realised this after I decided to see how my parents put my computer together, I noticed that there is a rubber slab screwed down so I can't use onboard graphics and have to use the AGP 4x port. I decided to investigate on my system and it tells me I have two 9200's available to use.

Just wondering whats the difference between them? Any reason why its been covered when pre-made? All I can assume is the AGP 4x is slightly better, no idea why though.

    AGP is faster than PCI as far as my understanding goes.

    Your motherboard could have an onboard 9200. I've seen them before on newegg.

    I don't think so the most advance IGP from ATi is the 9100 Chipset.

    Seriously there is no 9200 mobo chipset.
    Only the 9100 IGP which is ironicaly built on the 9200 Core.

    But why would you want to use onboard graphics anyways using the AGP interface is much better and it does not eat up system RAM.
