Welcome to the Forums :)

What about a 9600pro? - they overclock like anything.
 
You probably won't find one for less then 100NZD. But it's a significantly faster card.
 
There's a tool lurking about for enabling adjustments of core & memory frequency on older radeon cards. I used it to overclock my old 9000 & 9000AIW. I'll try to come up with a link or it's name at least.
 
For a DX8 card I would look into a Ti series. They are pretty darn cheap and might do better than the 9250.
For the 92XX cards yes they do overclock, just not on stock drivers. If you was to get Omega drivers and install them per instructions(easy to do) you can raise the clocks. The thing is most 92XX don't have fans or RAM sinks and you probally would want them on your card.
here is a link for Omegas: http://www.omegadrivers.net/
