Isn't 5ns faster than 5.5ns? (Leadtek apparently doesn't think so)

[jdm]

Leadtek sells two versions of it's Geforce2 Pro card, one of which is the enhanced version. When I read the specs of the enhanced card, it said "The New Enhanced WinFast GeForce2 Pro 32/64MB is the only one in it's class to use 5.5ns DDR memory." That really confused me - they are absolutely right, all other Geforce2 Pro cards (including their nonenhanced card) use 5ns memory. What's going on?

Well they were honest... they said it was the only card in it's class to use 5.5ns memory. They never actually specifically stated it was faster...
lol

Leadtek really shouldn't be advertising the card as "enhanced" and especially not as a Pro card. The only difference between GTS and PRO is that PRO has faster mem. If their "enhanced" PRO uses 5.5ns, then they would be completely lying to the consumer by calling it a "PRO" card. It should be called a MX card (one of Leadtek's MX cards uses 5ns mem).:|

Leadtek has been pulling some sneaky marketing tactics lately with confusing product labeling. Calling an MX based product a "PRO" of any sort is baiting unsuspecting consumers, and they should be repremanded for it by Nvidia and a cease an desist order.
