    Umm a graphics card cant be a blu-ray player lmao

    Youd have to spend alot more for a blu-ray player


    THe 9200 Is a very low end card and would probably handle the latest games poorly. But if you like oldies like Warcraft III, Counter Strike 1.6...and the like you could run them fairly well.


    Please note some newer games can be played just on lowest of the lowest settings

    Yes it can play Blu-ray. miscolobo thought you were asking if the graphics card could be the optical drive.

    Go ahead with the purchase, though you might want to look for the 9600M version.

    the 9200 is ok. plays bluray, but can stutter at times.

    cant play crysis, even on low settings it still only gets 10fps. athough it does run cool, so you could overclock it.

    Please search the forum before posting.

    I took the time to write a nice article showing the 9200M's power (or lack of ;)).

    Check the link in my signature :)

    I don't think your 9200m gs ddr3 is a fair comparison to the 9200m ge, which i am certain is worse then the 9200m gs ddr2 card.

    AFAIK The 9200m gs and ge are the same.

    I'm going to have to refuse to believe that to keep my sanity and prevent my mind from exploding from the sheer idiocy of it.

    It's Nvidia. They're the kings of having 16 different names for the same product.

    yea, but usually they change more then just a SINGLE letter! what's the point in changing the "s" to an "e"? 9200m gs vs 9200m ge????????

    edit: nvm, it's the same thing as 9200m gs ddr2, gosh.....
