Hi all,
OK, like everyone else I always want the biggest numbers.
But reading reviews that use current real world style benchmarking tools I have seen very little difference between the two bus speeds. Obviously, your apps will run faster once bus speed has become a bottleneck, but if it isn't then there presumably will be no difference.
My most demanding apps would be games (which I run at 1024x768 or 1280x960) and I already have a GeForce4 Ti card which should do for a year or two.
I tend to upgrade around once a year, so should I leave 533 buses (and 333ram ) for next time around?
The choice seems to be between buying something cheaper (and theoretically less likely to have bugs, incompatibility issues etc) that will probably do the job just as well for at least a year or more, or go for the "latest and greatest".
Which do you think is the best option please?
