This does look like a very decent card...AFTER IT EATS UP SYSTEM MEMORY BANDWITH AND MEMORY ITSELF!

How much memory do you have in your system? What are your other system specs? How many tasks do you have running in your task manager?

I run 256MB on my Celeron D machine...it has an Abit AG8-3rd Eye. I just need to add this GFx to it and sell it to my friend cause his computer just blew up...

performance will stink without dedicated ram.

why'd they release it then? I don't understand...and 32-BIT INTERFACE!

What leads you to believe that its eatig up all of your memory? What card did you have in there before?

I used a pcx5300 (very bad card)...i don't have the card...yet...but i would like to get one for this thing so that my friend will have a decent rig where nothing is bottleneck the other...would the 6200 Turbocache eat the memory

that card will be ok for windows use, etc. but it is horrible for games. for one thing, it is stuck using the 64-bit BUS width of the system's DDR memory. onboard V-RAM has MUCH higher frequencies (almost double) and a 256-bit MEMORY BUS and does not have to go through the North Bridge to be accessed!

the card is garbage. if you are a gamer... don't buy it... you'll end up peeing all over the card when u see the results.
