GeForce 4 MX 420 DDR

[msanc024]

Hi!

I am going to buy a new computer. It does include a GeForce 4 MX 420 with DDR memory. It's a special offer so I can't change any component (In fact I will replace the GF4 for a Radeon 8500)

The question is:

I haven't found information of the DDR version of the MX 420. I suspect it will have the same bandwidth as the SDR version (2.7 gb/s) due to the reduced memory interface (from 128 to 64 bit, just like the DDR version of the GeForce 2 MX). Can anybody confirm this information?

Thank you.

--overal the mx420 isnt bad for casual gaming and general usage - but for hardcore gamers its not great. A 128mb 8500 would be a good card for the money though

Hi,

"Delivers up to 5.4GB per second of memory bandwidth"

GREAT!

Thank's for the info!

DDR will definitely be better than the SDRAMs models specially on a crappy MX model

i got the radeon 9000 pro for 150 EURO's which was a kik *** deal and it's wayyy better than what the GeForce 4 MX line of cards can offer when it comes to performace and picture quality, since non of the GF4MX line of 420/440/460 cards offer DirectX 8.1 shadder fx support....but the 9000 Radeon does and it's fast enugh that i think i should be the card for causal gaming on mid range computers.
