5600 Ultra vs 5200 Ultra
I assume that the 5600 is better than the 5200, but in my local stores the
5200 Ultra seems to be priced the same as or a little more than the 5600 Ultra? Is there any logic behind this? I am purchasing on to use in a Linux machine, any recommendations on which one to go with? Thanks, Chris |

Thanks, Chris Is there any logic behind the FX5200 There are Ultra's and Non Ultra's 64-bits versions and 128-bits versions Fast versions with just 64Mb DDR and ultraslow ones with 256Mb memory ....there is no logic Buying an FX5200 is like buying a lot from a "you always win something" lottery, in the worst case it will perform as a GF2 MX card. And in the best case it drags itself up around a GF3 On the other hand the FX5600 is a bit more consistent, the non-ultra craps below GF4 MX speeds and the Ultra might just crawl under the ti4200 If you now buy a car..atleast buy an FX5700 Ultra! Those have a very probability of being quite fast! |

For the money: $140 = ATI9600 $200 = ATI9600XT (Includes a coupon for a FREE Half Life). -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot! Death to Palladium & WPA!! |
