          Is it a Radeon 8500?

          Edit: Ah, 9700. Not bad.

          I don't buy ATI cards. I had a Radeon 64MB VIVO and I learned my lesson.

            For future reference, the 9700 actually has smaller pipes.

            It's got 1 texture unit per pipe, 8 pipes. GF4 Tis have 2 texture units per pipe, 4 pipes.

                It is better, but it doesn't have bigger pipes. They made some tradeoffs.
                GF4 Ti4600 has 4x2 pipes (4 pipes, 2 texture units).
                Radeon 9700 has 8x1 pipes.
                Nvidia's upcoming chip (end of Novembver) has 8x2 pipes.

                When I got my Ti4600 the 9700 wasn't even out yet, but I still wouldn't buy one. It's a half-assed DX9 chip, and it'll be obsolete the day DX9 is out when Nvidia launches NV30.

                  I voted on the 1.3 ghz. Of course, that's the fast computer... the slow one is a 300 mhz.

                          3 at home. 2533, 1.000 and... I think it's a 300 of some sort.

                          The 2533 was a recent splurge that will seem silly shorty, no doubt.

                            Just bought a new bargain-PC
                            CPU 1600 MHz
                            HD 40 Gb
                            Ram 512 Mb

                            Smac plays too fast with this - especially the early game...

                            btw, my old retired one:
                            CPU 200 MHz
                            HD 1,7 Gb
                            RAM 49 Mb
                            I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.
