The ATI Radeon 9250 I have it's the same model and only supports shader model 2.0, but the for the price (it's as cheap as you will find, like 50 us $, I bought mine for 46 euros) you'll get 4 pixel pipelines and 2 shader at a core speed of 240 mhz and a memory speed of 400 mhz, with resolutions up to 2048x1536, agp 8x,128 MB DDR, 64-bit interface. It's not a top notch graphics card, but believe me, on price concern, it's by far the best. I play Call of Duty 2 at 1024x768, with anisotropic filter,Anti-aliasing x4 and all the game textures definitions to high. It's not XBOX 360, but it's a lot fun! Of course, if you have the $$, spent them on a Asus V9999ULTRA, it's something special: both on graphics, and money(700 euros!!!). But that's an high end card. I posted here a pic of Call of Duty 2 running on my pc, and believe it, my personal computer is rather old:AMD duron 1600, 512 Mb Ram and with the ATI radeon card I bought recently, I shouted: IT'S NOT DEAD YET!
