Well anyone will tell you that you need a new card regardless, but to answer your question on whether you'll be able to play WoW or not. Well the answer is yes of course you will be able too, as far as looks and pretty eye candy well your not going to get the same as someone with an ATi X800XT PE.. just make sure you've installed DirectX 9.0c and install the latest ATi drivers or if you prefer a modded driver such a DH zer0point, Omega, or UniAN driver sets then by all means go for it.
Oh and welcome to DH, Ill seeya around bro  |

Ok first you MUST only post once ... im by no mean a moderator on this website but, i just let you know so you wont get in trouble here .
 Now, back on track, you did not gave us the full spec of your computer but, the radeon 9200 is much more powerful than a GeForce2 card ( dont get me wrong, it is still a low end card but, the GeForce2 is just plain oudated ) hope this help |

Wow ran GREAT on my old mobility 9000 so have fun with your 9200 and I also wouldn't say you NEED a new card, the 9200 (if it's 128 MB) should run any new game just fine, it just won't run anything resembling max specs, but that is life, i won't be running max specs after a month or so from now either so don't rush out for a new card right away.
