The 9200 is actually a DirectX 8.1 card, and the MX440 is of the DirectX 7 generation.
Although sometimes the MX 440-8X can be faster than a Radeon 9000 Pro/9200, the 9200 will give better quality graphics as well as video playback; one extreme example is Halo, which looks quite terrible, in my opinion, on a card that lacks DirectX 8/9 features.
