9600SE quick question

[nagaul]

I've read the 9600SE is not that great and that it only has 64mb, etc. However, today's Best Buy ad lists that the 9600SE is 128mb and is only 129.99. I also read about that deal where the 9600 pro's were found in the SE boxes. If the Se is 128mb would it really be that bad?

I doesn't matter how much ram the 9600 se has, it still sucks ass. The problem is the memory bus, which is only 64 bit.

the amount of ram on a video card doesnt mean much. its about the clockspeeds and the bus, which the SE has stripped in.

For 130, your better off with a G4 Ti4200 or even a Radeon 9600NP.

you can go online and get a non striped down 9600 for about 115$ and se models for as low as 85$ shiped so i would harly say best buy is living up to their names on this one. unless of course it is a pro in an se box, in which case it would be a very good deal.

an old ATI 7500 LE 64MB (260/190 DDR) ?. beat the 9600SE 128MB - 64bit in most of the game benchmarks.
