hi ppl,
well,i got a system with the belowmentioned stats in my possession.....
P4 1.6 ghz
256mb DDR 333(however the mobo bus speed is only 200mhz so thats the max speed at which the ddr will run......
32mb onboard graphics S3 prosavage
mobo ECS make,VIA chipset,120 GB maxtor.....
rite,so i got them 2 cards in sight and am wondering if the 9800 pro will be a bottle neck for my system.......
i got a 9600 pro powercolor and it said on the pack... 400/400 memory/core speeds......well and i tried doing the 3d mark test and it returned the system specifications as ati R9600 series 200/400 mem/core......can anyone throw lite on this.....i'm uninitiated in this field but why this discrepancy...
now am wondering if i got swindled...is there any way i cud chk tht this is R9600 PRO.......and i cud definitely go for the 9800 pro dragon but will tht bottle neck my system.......makes no sense puttin a high end card into a low end system ,aye?
if i cud get a reply asap i wud be more than grateful......
thnx
