I recently saw an ad for a GeForce 2 Pro 32MB-SDR card. My question is do all GF2Pros come with only SDR memory or do some have DDR memory? What is the difference in performance between SDR and DDR RAM on video cards?

All GeForce2 Pro cards come with DDR SDRAM. If it has SDR memory then it is most definitely not a GeForce2 Pro.
DDR SDRAM has double the peak theoretical memory bandwidth of SDR SDRAM at the same clockspeed and bus width. Performance differences can vary depending upon the actual configuration, in some cases DDR SDRAM can actually be slower then SDR SDRAM, and in others it can be vastly superior depending upon the need for extra bandwidth against the lesser effeciency of DDR, memory bus width, clockspeed etc.

Hmm...I guess they must have messed up the ad again. Those advertisers on computer newspapers never get stuff right....as if a Riva NTN card ever existed!
