veg1992 Golden Master Messages 19,993 Aug 2, 2007 #9 i like the name... go with the xfx, which uses modern memory type, even if its for an older AGP
Nick Everything to Nothing Messages 4,053 Location Wales Aug 3, 2007 #10 yeah go with the XFX as it uses GDDR3 which as Vernong said is the latest form of memory (am i right?) whereas the EVGA uses GDDR2 which is older, my card uses DDR which is just plain crap
