The one key thing that wasn't listed was a 183 MHz core backed up with 183 MHz DDR ram (366 MHz SDR). Apparently some OEM versions of the 64 MB Radeons come with their core clocked at 166 teamed up with 6 ns DDR ram, effectively 166 MHz (333 MHz SDR). Also, retail Radeon 32MB DDR's run at 166/166 while a rumour going around are that some OEM's are shipped at 143/143! So buyer beware, by cheap and get lousy hardware.

Ok, here are my system spec's followed by a wide assortment of benchmarks.

3DMark places the Radeon where I would expect it, quite a bit faster then a GeForce DDR, but slower then a GeForce 2 Pro. However, it's interesting to see that overclocking the card a little can dramatically increase the overall performance!

However let's take a look at a real game engine instead of a synthetic…
