radeon 7500????

[Duvie]

I am wondering 2 things:

First for all 7500 users with tv-out: When you run tv-out does it still run the monitor so you can see what you are doing if the tv is in the other room?

Secondly how does it compare in performance to a gefore 2 pro??? can I oc it???

I am only concerned it stays reasonably close in performance. I mainly want the radeon for its better dvd performance and clarity and the ability to run tv and monitor at same time so I can set up and run my divx movies on my tv in the family room from the office....

Yes, at least thats the way all my ATI cards work, I'm installing my AIW 7500 today, I'll let you know.

Yes, you can overclock it, Lookie here. Benchmarks I've seen basically put its performance somewhere between a GF2 Pro and GF2 Ultra.

Mine runs fine @306/280mem. Core will go much higher, 320MHz, my ram is only 4ns but still is able to pull it off with zero artifacts.
