That's all the specs but Most of it I don't understand but what can I say it is a powerful gc for Agp type since I can play latest game such as Far Cry 2, Crysis Warhead, Need for Speed Undercover, Fifa09, Dirt and Red Alert 3 (this is the one that I've tried on my pc and it work).. Forgot to tell, my processor only Pentium 4 2.4ghz.. Wierd but it works for all the listed game! I think processor does not effect the games too much..
I used Ati Radeon 9600 series before but this year 2008 games most of it my gc cannot support it.. There will be a message such as "Your gc does not support shader 3.0", "Your gpu does not meet minimum spec", and many more.. So I somehow stop playing game this year.. Only play Fifa08 all the time.. Huhu..
But of course you need ram at least 1.5gb.. Haha.. What can I say, since the price for ddr2 is very2 cheap now.. I used ddr1 400 and I can get 2gb ram of ddr2 for the price of 1gb ddr1 400.. How unfair! So need a little bit of investment here.. Haha.. But for those who loves game but they only got a PC that support AGP gc, this is the right choice! I've see the different!
