I'm looking for a low-end graphics card and have basically narrowed it down to either a Radeon 9000 Pro or the newer 9200 (non-pro). The 9200 is only $20 more ($150 vs $130 Australian) but doesn't look a whole lot different. I'm not even sure if it has dual monitor support like the 9000 pro. Can anyone give me an opinion on which is better, and where I might find any reviews or information on the 9200. TIA.

8500 best 9000 not so good 9100 a little better, can OC to 8500 speed 9200 is just an agp8 ver of the 9000 with 9100 core all play games at 1024*712 just fine but No higher 9500/pro is a better bet at a little over 300 for speed/$ get an ti4200 for as little as $250 new, less s/h! kicks 9XXX ass!

Not sure I agree with Stephen here 8500 - Good 9000 - Not so good 9000 Pro - Better than the 9000 9100 - same as 8500 9200 - same as 9000 but with 8x AGP 9200 Pro - 9000 Pro 8x Both Pros run at 275/550 GPU/RAM, while the non-Pros run 250/400 MHz. So definitely get the 9000 Pro out of the options you gave. However, the best bet is the 9100 which is a rebranding of the 8500, but exactly the same core. This card for some reason seems to be cheaper - �50 here in the UK, but is slightly faster in most cases than the 9000 Pro.
