Hmmm...I think, as ownage stated, that you have a micro ATX motherboard. Because I have absolutly NO idea of any motherboard that can support a P4, DDR RAM, but yet has no AGP slot. It has got to be Micro ATX.
Are you positive that it isn't AGP (Advanced Graphics Port)? Because I'm baffled with how you can support such modern technology, yet you can't support an AGP slot.
My old Radeon 9250, which I have in my hand right now, doesn't have an extra place for power, so I don't think you need to connect your 9250 to the PSU, but I could still be wrong. Let me dig up some info on this PowerColor Radon 9250...
*fifteen minutes later*
Ok here's what I got...
I found no PCI version of the Radeon 9250 to have 256MB of memory. With that in mind, I honestly think your card is AGP. Does it have a space in the card, you know where all the pins are, the gold stuff...Because you should check to see if it's keyed for 1.5V. Keyed meaning that in the card part there is a space, roughly 3/4s towards the end of the card is where the space should be. Now I know PCI has a keyed slot, but most Radeon 9250s in AGP have more then one keyed slot in the card.
If your card has two or three keyed areas on the card, then it's AGP. If not, then it's PCI. BUt then that should make your PCI card only have 128MB of memory.
Tricky stuff this is...
