I recently upgraded to that (I'm ona budget) and was wondering how long it should last me..and also I'm not above using medium or low graphic setting. i used medium of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and still thought the graphics were great.

If you want the truth; ten seconds after you read this post, then it'll blow up because it has troubles making out colours on the screen j/p. But really, not very long

it's hard to say because it depends on the rest of your system. the card should be fine with medium settings in games, but you won't be able to raise the resolution very high. i also suspect it'll have some problems with doom 3, so you may want to start saving up

not everybody plays with super high settings. I got a 800 MHZ P3 with 256MB Pc 2100 ram and a Ti4600. I can still play UT2003 with medium settings and 1024X 768. But it gets kinda choppy sometimes.....Oh well only about 6 months till I have the money to build my uber gaming computer.

512MB of DDR RAM
ATI 9200 (obviously)
Intel Celeron 2.8GHz
120 GB of hardrive space
and CD-ROM read speed of 48x

The Celeron and the 9200 are going to bottleneck ur games like crazy. If you upgraded ur chip and ur gfx card, the games would run better.
