More than twice. Memory bandwidth is ~ 26Gbytes/sec compared to about
5 Gbytes/sec. May now be limited by your processor ?

Don't feel bad. The day after mine shipped this week, the price
dropped from $279 to $249..............grrr....................... :-(


Still, almost like with cars --- the $$ value of PC components drops

Much better image quality.
Been readin alot of reviews on both the 9800pro and the 5900 line.The 5900(non
pro) is about equal to the 9800 pro except at very high res(1600x1200)+.
I think the reasons for the price drop are the that the next big thing is
coming out and the big shopping season is coming. Dawg
