ATi Radeon 9200 SE

 ·  3D Graphics, ATi, PC

The Radeon 9200 SE is a budget AGP card I bought new-old-stock specifically for the ITX Llama — a brand-new DOS gaming motherboard that deserves a genuinely new graphics card, not a decades-old survivor.

What it is

The 9200 SE is a 2003 budget AGP card built on ATi’s RV280 GPU: 4 pixel pipelines, a 64-bit memory bus, and 64MB or 128MB of DDR memory. It’s low-end even for its era — nowhere near flagship 9000-series performance — but for DOS and early Windows games it’s more than enough.

Specifications

  • GPU: RV280
  • Pixel pipelines: 4
  • Memory: 64MB or 128MB DDR, 64-bit bus
  • Core / memory clock: 200MHz / 333MHz
  • Interface: AGP 8x

My card

Mine went into the ITX Llama build, plugged into the AGP slot alongside the SOM, RTC battery, and ATX power. It’s massive overkill for that machine — but it was cheap new-old-stock, and using it kept the whole build genuinely new rather than mixing in period-original parts.
