Radeon All-in-Wonder 32MB SDR versus 32MB DDR -- what's the difference?

[StinkyT]

Hello,
I'm looking at the All in Wonder video card and I noticed there is an SDR version and a DDR version - both at the same price.

Is the 32MB DDR version better than the SDR version?

Does the AIW DDR version require a particular type of motherboard or RAM?

Thanks

Isn't one PCI (SDR) and one AGP (DDR)?

I don't know if one's AGP and the other is PCI or not, but the DDR is faster, and you don't need a special motherboard/RAM to run it, as long as you have a pretty decent AGP Slot (BX or after?).

The AIW 32MB SDR fits in a PCI slot. Due to the SDR memory it will be slower.

The AIW 32MB DDR fits in an AGP slot.

The SDR is very close to the DDR in performance and may meet your needs. The Hyper-Z(cache) narrows the gap significant. More info here
