Just got my new A7N8X Mobo and it turns out my (early version) matrox G400 won't work with it.
I hadn't planned on getting a new grafics card, but now i have to... (I wanted to get a parhelia later when i had the money)
The cards I'm looking at are the 9000 PRO 64Mb and the 9000 128Mb, they cost about the same here (Sweden).
I don't do any hardcore gaming, just play around a bit (mostly GTA3 and driving games). I do a lot of browsing and word processing and the likes...
Which one should I get?

Thanks!


That's not a knife... THIS is a knife!

Radeon 9000 Pro has faster clock speed and faster memory than Radeon 9000. This is why a Radeon 9000 Pro 64 MB outperforms a 128 MB Radeon 9000.

yes its true

and the clock speeds are quite different.. i think the memory on the 9000pro is like 120mhz faster, this makes a big difference

unless your going to play UT2003 ALOT then the 128megs wont make a difference. if you just play casually then 64megs is quite ample
