ATI Radeon DDR

Advantages: good card for the money
Disadvantages: Might need to adjust the monitor when changing screen resolution

...Having built machines using the ATI Xpert 2000 pro (nice cheap all purpose card) I needed to upgrade my own system to something faster as my Viper II was objecting to a lot of the new games and support from Diamond had dried up. I decided to try the ATI Radeon 7200 which was reasonably priced and seemed to offer a bit more than the Xpert cards. The retail pack contains the card, manuals, CD and loads of cables and connectors for hooking up to a TV (the card has TV out as standard as well as VGA). Once installed in the machine, Windows identifies the card as a standard PCI VGA card and up it comes with no problems. Then comes the driver intallation. The CD autoruns and gives you a number of options of which one is intall. This gives you the option to install the card drivers and mulitmedia center (version 7.2 with the DVD player...

Review of ATI RADEON DDR

VOODOO 4 Against ATI Radeon.

Advantages: Fast, Range of Features
Disadvantages: Pretty Slow

...Last Year i brought a brand new Voodoo 4 4500 32mb PCI graphics card. I decided to get a new one as the voodoo 4 4500 one had passed its shelf and base unit life. I went into my local wholesaler who i usually get my computer part off and he recommended to me using the ATI Radeon 7000 64Mb Graphics Card. At first i was tempted to say no untill he told me what features it had. I said that it must have more than the basic Voodoo 4 4500 32mb card, and believe me when saying basic, i mean everything. Its easy to plug into your PCI port on your motherboard, The software and drivers are easy to install, not that you have to anyway. It has a the basic design as many other PCI Graphics cards but i mean the colour of this one shows that it is built for the future. By the way the colour is Red. Now how many graphics cards do you know that are...

**128MB more memory for your money**

Advantages: stores all types of files for transit
Disadvantages: prompts are not so good

...**DELL USB MEMORY STICK** -- USB Flash Drive 128MB -- - A Dell introduction- Dell was founded by Michael Dell in 1984 and was originally named 'PC limited'. At that time IBM was the main specialists in computer products and components worldwide. Michael learn't his trade by using IBM mainframe computers on processing speeds of only 2MHz.

Advantages: very fast, good quality, nice drivers, high stability, technichal up-to-date...
Disadvantages: ...don't know any disadvantage... =)

...Hi out there. Today I'm going to write my second opinion for the british ciao. I hope, you'll unterstand everything - my english is a little bad, because I'm from germany and out of school for over a year... [something about ATI] ATI is the Worldwide #2 selling video chips for the consumer market and beside nVidia the most powerful enterprise in this sector. The history of ATI's video chips reaches back to 1995 [well, I'm not really sure about that...]. The last video chip was the ATI Radeon 8500, which had a very nice performance while beeing cheap, too. [the ATI Radeon 9700] One of ATI's latest chips is the R300-family, named as Radeon 9500, 9500 Pro, 9700, 9700 Pro. Today I'm going to handle with the ATI Radeon 9700 with 128 MB DDR-RAM. First of all, some technichal specifications: 275 Mhz Core 270 Mhz RAM...

Review of ATI Radeon 9700 128MB DDR 8x

Good all round workhorse

Advantages: Fairly fast mid-high range card, excellent DVD playback
Disadvantages: Need a good CPU, beaten on performance by the 9700Pro

...The radeon 9700 is a fairly fast Mid-High range card, clocked at 275mhz core and 540mhz memory. Core is like the processor of the graphics card. The faster the core the better. The memory stores what the graphic card is running. Because the memory "feeds" the core with the data it is holding, speed is again important. The faster the memory, the faster it can pass on data. ATI have had a reputation for good hardware but poor drivers, but this 9700 card has much improved driver support, through ATI Catalyst Drivers, currently at version 3.5. The card also supports the latest DirectX9.0a / OpenGL Support, AGP 8X Bus (Compatible with AGP 4X) The Radeon 9700 can cope with anything that you can currently throw at it and at least over the next six months, when used with good CPU. There is a very strong user base and community...

Review of ATI Radeon 9700 128MB DDR 8x

ATI - What an image!!

Advantages: Easy to install, Good price, Great image quality
Disadvantages: Much cheaper in USA

...warned! I had decided to upgrade my old graphics card from an ATI Radeon 7000 to the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro with 128 MB DDR SDRAM. I wasn't having many problems with my old graphics card but I wanted to expand the 3D capabilities of my gaming and edit graphics/photos. Seeing as I have a reasonably fast computer (3.2 Gig Hz Pentium 4) with 1 Gig of RAM, I realized that the card, with only 32 MB of DDR SDRAM was the only thing I would need to optimise. I'm not going to bore you too much like most reviews on graphics cards which tend to focus on frames per second, refresh rates etc. The type of mumbo jumbo info, while really important to die hard gamers, is useless to the majority of us. I am going to try and focus on image quality which is more important to you graphics designers and photographers out there. Installation was real easy I...

Review of ATI RADEON 9000 Pro

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb

Advantages: High power (ish), pretty cheap
Disadvantages: heat

...! The card isn't too power hungry, it works fine on my 350W power supply that was supplied with my budget pc (£235 but powerful nevertheless) So far you'd think this card was a really great buy. and don't get me wrong, i love it. but unfortunately i didn't realise you could buy an ATI radeon 9550 with 256Mb RAM and a nearly identical performance for cheaper. It can easily be overclocked with no extra cooling to outperform my 9600 pro, and i've been slated a few times off computer geeks for not knowing this before. If i were you, i'd definately buy this if you're looking for a cheap but powerful graphics card to work on graphics processing / CAD, but also if you're a light-medium gamer who isn't too serious, although seriously consider the 9550 before you go ahead and buy a 9600. Hope this helps!...

Review of ATI RADEON 9600 PRO PC & Mac Edition

XFX ATi Radeon HD 4870 1GB, a great graphics card.

Advantages: Can run almost every game on highest settings, easy to overclock, very good memory speed.
Disadvantages: No PhsX so some games can't run properly or even at all sometimes, some old games dont work.

...The XFX ATi Radeon HD 4870 1024MB GDDR5, is undoubtedly one of the best cards you can buy within it's price range (to name a few the Nvidia GTX 260, the Nvidia GTS 250 and the ATi 4850) it is able to play almost every modern game at highest settings at a playable speed. I say almost because because some games require Nvidia PhsX, and I say modern because some old games don't work on the graphics card, Quake III for example. Although Deus Ex Works, as do all of Valves games and Diablo II does, but it has graphical issues and can mess up the placement of your windows. Visuals Almost every game that I own I can run at highest settings with a flawless framerate, Crysis runs at about 20 FPS which is playable but not exactly flawless. It still looks absolutely amazing though and you completely forget the bad gameplay...

Review of XFX Radeon HD 4870 XXX

The Graphics Revolution: ATI Radeon 9800

Advantages: Small, practically weightless, high tech, durable, gives you KILLER graphics, perfect for games.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, uses up a lot of pc power

...The ATI Radeon 9800 is amazing. But it isnt cheap. That has to be the first thing to be pointed out. You can get an acceptable laptop at such a price: 200 GBP. Unless you are REALLY into games and 3D game designing and developing, I dont reccommend you buy it. Seriously- you dont need that much power! Me...I just bought it because I'm a computer geek, and because I had quite a large budget. If you are buying a laptop or PC with this graphics card, then the price will obviously increase significantly. If you have recently bought a laptop or PC over the last year, you seriously do NOT need to buy this graphics card. Your laptop would almost certainly have a graphics card, and if its a high tech one then it will probably have ATI Radeon 9600 or 9200 with 64MB of RAM. That is enough to run the most complicated and most performance...

Review of Connect3D RADEON 9800

128Mb... Not worth it?

Advantages: Key chain ring
Disadvantages: So tiny!

...This pen drive is a bit old and to be honest not even worth looking at! Out there you WILL find better deals if you brought new it would cost you £12.49!!! The only thing I like about this is the handy key chain ring which means you can take it anyhere--- very helpful Im sure as whereever you go your keys follow! The downflaw is now with this is simply the size of the drive- its only 128MB and you can now buy them on the high street for £30 with a massive 8Gig (about 60 times larger!) Although it does look very cool and the swoop of the cap is a innovative design its purely not worth it! AND as its USB you dont need to install any sofware so thats an obvious plus when taking it from place to place... A very little and pointless device that purely just isnt worth it due to its poor memory! Why dont you buy one with more...
