Was looking for a $50 card but after reading boards - talked myself up to a Radeon 9000 but got a few questions:
1. assuming same price - which one should I get ? Sapphire Radeon 9000 PRO 64MB vs ATI Radeon 9000 Atlantis 64MB
2. for the ATI - I noticed difference in vendor descriptions: /275MHZ-DDR vs. 200MHZ DDR - looks like about $10 diff. Is there a noticable performance diff ?
3, when looking at the RADEON 9000PRO 128M - price jumps $20 for extra 64mb - does this give NOTICABLE performance diff (also I didnt see ANY description as to DDR speed 200 vs 275 for the 128m boards) I'm assuming they come standard with the faster DDR ?
4. Is there an upgrade hack for the radeon 9000 (like there is for the radeon 9500 - to make it a 9700) ?
Sorry for all the questions (but fugure if anyone who know, you guys would
