The major difference between the 9200 and the 9200SE is the memory interface.

9200 - 128 bit
9200SE - 64 bit

I have a 9200SE too, so I'll be watching this thread with a great deal of interest.

I have a 9600 pro.nobody asked you ffs
dont post random shit just for the sake of posting

SaYiaN....you may get better resluts in hardware world...
theres some pretty good ppl in there that may not venture in here too often :)
but my guess would be no, because its limited to 64MB by the hardware..
or are you not talking about the memory?

haha, spelling edit....reSULTS not reSLUTS :P

To be honest, I'm not completely sure.

All I know is that the difference is in the memory interface, which is in bits, not MB, so it can't be referring to the the card's physical RAM.
Both the 9200 and the 9200SE come with 128MB RAM.

I think the memory interface might be another thing altogether...

<guess>
Something to do with data transfer speed from VRAM or GPU, perhaps? :unsure:
</guess>

I agree that it would be a good idea to move this topic to Hardware, though.
Personally, I'd like to hear Atividea's opinion on this one.
He seems to know his way around a video card...

yeah i caught that after i re-read it :blushing:
but then thats why i suggested hardware world
cuz i wanna know too, hehe

(speakin of ATI, they need to hurry the hell up and send back my 9200) :(
guess i need to go to the site and see if i can find out the status of my return,
if i find anything else out about this (interface stuff) i will post back :)

from the reviews of various sites like tomshardware, it seems like you can oc it close enough to a stock 9200, its just that you cant use aa and af (9200 prob cant either for todays games). It seems like its the AA and AF that makes teh difference in the memory bandwidth

OC'ing a gfx card that only has a heat sink for cooling strikes me as a pretty risky proposition. :ph34r:

But I suppose it'd be a pretty mild OC... well, it would have to be, huh? :lol:

i think unzi meant it was risky with ONLY a heatsink...
meaning without a fan....
but hey, you can add fans too :P

Yup, that's exactly what I meant. Thought it was obvious.

Guess not.
