But the game is smooth at 1280x1024 . . . ... as with my 9250. >>Ah, this is a pure-PCI 9250, is it? (I wasn't aware you could get hold >>of those anymore...

I'll admit I'm not sure why you're seeing such a speed difference if hardware rendering is on; an order of magnitude seems a bit much just for PCI versus AGP.
