Just ordered my Radeon 9700 Gold from Newegg

Upgrading from a 32mb Radeon 7000, WOO!

What is a 9700 Gold? A souped up 9700 Pro?

 

[Malladine]

Thanks guys.

Tao: it's a underpowered pro, essentially. Chizow once wrote "9700gold = Full blown, un-neutered 9700pro with slower RAM. Performance differences will scale identically with clockspeed."

the core is also underclocked but that can be fixed.
