nuka_t Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 lucky ******. lol sure, i COULD get a b&w G3 for 450 dollars used. but realistically, if im going to buy a mac, im either going to get a G5 or a powerbook. they cost waay too much money for me and i just cant stand imacs and emacs. also, look at the price of the 9800 pro, four hundred dollars. the pc version costs 200, and it can be softmodded to an xt. this one probably wont have enough people using it to warrant hacked BIOS's and stuff.

It has DDR memory clocked at 680 MHz!! :) Or is that the same as the PC version? Can't remember anymore...its been a month now without the PC and that card.

Phemo Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 this one is different from the 9800 XT for the PC. It has DDR memory clocked at 680 MHz!! :) Or is that the same as the PC version? Can't remember anymore...its been a month now without the PC and that card. The PC version of the 9800 Pro runs at 380MHz core and 340MHz RAM which is obviously 680MHz DDR. The XT for PC runs at 412MHz core and 365MHz for RAM, so 730MHz DDR. Good to see the Mac have another addition to the graphics card side of things, but I don't see why ATI have just released another Mac 9800 when the PC has just gotten the X800 series ... why not bring out a Mac X800? Oh well ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I didnt see a 9800 Pro when i was building a machine, only got 3 options from FX 5200 64Mb, 9600 XT 128Mb DDR & 9800 XT 256 Mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99 to Life Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 that's probably what that is, but i can't be sure of that. I do know however, that I'm getting this card to play Doom 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
