Assuming you use two sticks of PC2700 ram @333MHz?

Also are there any features lacking like DX8 and 9 support?

its a gf4mx core.



so... if you use 2 ddr400 dimms, theoreticall you'd have 6.4 gb/sec bandwith which is equivalent to a normal gf4mx440 with 128bit 400mhz ram. but the system would take some of that, and i doubt most people will spring for the ddr400.

assuming ddr333 with 5.4 gbps, - system overhead, and probably slightly lower clock speed (i think the core is only 250mhz not 275 , so its more like a gf4mx420), i'd figure faster than an mx420 (has dedicated 1.6gbs) but slower than an mx440

Thank you very much Hans.
