Radeon 7500 questions????

[Duvie]

1) How many version are there??? I only want ddr ram...are there better then 5ns chips?Is there a PRO or ULTRA version?

2) Should I avoid powered by radeon oem??? Are they 3rd part manufacturers with a card that is lower clocked??

3) Do they all support dual monitor or dual display simultaneously??? I need tv-out and monitor to work at same time....



I am not a big gamer so I don't need the radeon 8500...I Have a GF@ pro now and wnat basically same performance but with dual display and better dvd performance....

Get yourself a Made By Ati OEM/Retail card. Mine has 4ns ram on it and I run the card at the actual speeds of 301.5core/279mem. It will do 315/281.5 stable. Can't tell you anything about the TV/Monitor at the same time deal though, because I'm not into that.

I have a retail Radeon 7500, it has 4ns chips and some have been spotted with chips as fast as 3.5 ns. I had my card up to 330/300 at one point, though I was getting artifacts. Since I don't game all that much and was basically OC'ing it for kicks, I brought it back to 290 / 250 (Stock is 290 / 230, but since the RAM chips are rated for 250 I figured why not).

If I were buying a new card, I'd take a look at a Radeon 8500 / GF3 class card as the Radeon 7500 is getting to be dated.
