The 128MB Version of the AIW 8500 should be running at the equivelent speed ofthe 8500 128MB Version.

The 64MB version, and the original radeon (and possbily 7500?) all run at slower speeds than its regular brother. I have one myself, and it runs all games I throw at it at acceptable framerates (60.).

ok, i got the 64MB version, so my speed is where it should be then?

Your speed is correct for an 8500DV. They are clocked significantly lower than regular retail Radeon 8500 cards. There is another non-DV version of the 8500 all-in-wonder, but that one costs more.

It's clocked exactly as it should be. The R8500DV is always clocked at 230/190.

The AIW R8500 is clocked at 275/275.... but it's not quite as feature packed as the 8500DV though it's still an impressive package.
