Hi all, I have a Sam460 (lite from amigakit) with a radeon hd4650 installed.
Rather than wait who knows how long for composting and 3d support for the card I am thinking of getting a 9250 card.

Will it just be as simple as replacing one with the other as I believe the hd4650 is in a pci express port?

As you have a PCI slot on your motherboard, you'll have to get a 9250 PCI card (the 9250 does not come in a PCIe variant).

Get the 9000pro, faster and better than the 9250.

If you can't find one the 9200 is faster than the 9250.

I was considering mentioning this, but the difference wasn't that great (an 8500 would be even better, but I don't know if there are PCI versions or if OS4 supports it).
