You could get hold of that 96k FPS game that was mentioned recently, nice and quick download and it looks great - should be a nice benchmark program because it really needs a decent PC to run - if that runs smoothly your laughing .

Other than that I'd suggest UT2004 or Halo. Of course Doom3 and HL2 will be released soon and they should put your card to the test more than anything.

your card will die on that 96K game, even with a powerful processor backing it up.
Even my 9600SE was really struggling to keep up 25fps on it.

The 9200SE isn't going to be able to really push your system to the limit (after all it is a budget card)

However come good Shader-Based games that should perform quite well on it are,
Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness (patch 1.52 is what should've been released imo it's a good playable game now)
C&C General / Zero Hour (beautiful with Max Graphics)

I'll suggest this because according to what Neo reckons you should be able to run this; but if you can't don't blame me, blame him.
Bridge It! 240MB you'll find it on the www.nzone.com site, it isn't exclusively for Geforce FX it's just the graphics it uses do cater for those cards more.

Also Tenebrae, you'll find it on Source Forge, will also push your card to the limits.

Unreal Tournament 2004, Halo, Etc... you know the standards.

Also 3D Mark 2003, it's 180MB download but will be able to show you what your card is capable of.
Would be interesting to see what the 9200SE can push.

What else... if you don't mind paying a monthly fee for server access Final Fantasy XI is bloody awesome!!
1GHz + Shader 1.1 Based card min requirements...

I'd pass over FarCry, cause it just won't be playable even on lowest graphics. (again another game my 9600SE struggles with)

XIII is a good game... Infact go checkout nzone.com, there is a complete list of games which are very hardware demanding
