Since my computer is only limited to PCI cards, is the ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256MB card work well enough? I want to run some games like Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and the Sims 2. Don't tell me t get a new motherboard or a new PC, because I don't have the money for that.

Is there any other PCI card that will work better than the ATI Radeon 9250 256MB PCI card? Or should I just stick with that? I heard its the best PCI card ATI can offer...

Anybody who is using this card can tell me all about it!

I'd love to know how a brand new PCI card works instead of the built in Intel Extreme Graphics!

Oh, and one more thing! I was thinking for a bit, and wondering, since the graphics I use right now is the laughably horrible extreme graphics, is onboard, and uses the system's memory, and the 9250 is a separate card that doesn't scam resources off the system, will it make my computer go faster, RAM-wise?
