That is fantastic,I have just upped my FPS from 9-12 to 30+ FPS.
I did notice that there was already an entry for the Radeon card with the same ATI Disply adaptor name, but I entered your version at the bottom of the file (the only difference I could see was that your version did not have quote marks). I saved the file and then wnt to options and selected the second Radeon 9200 card and that was it.
Thanks for the advice!
John

:
: The device id for the ATI Radeon 9200 should

: Go to the Links 2003 directory and find the
: file Videocard.txt
: Open the file with Notepad, and locate the
: following: "Vendor = 0x1002
: "ATI"
: Below that are a number of device id's, got
: to the last one before the next "Vendor

: it
:
: 0x5961 = Radeon 9200 (if dxdiag shows a
: different device id for your card enter that
: instead)
:
: On the next line you can also add

: Save the file and open Links and select the
