this indicates this card is crap, as the 5600 and 9600 pro beat it. i find this hard 2 believe as the 9800se is meant to be a crippled 9800 and the 5600 is a crippled 5800, which speakes for itself. with the 9800 chip, albeit disabled shouldnt this be able to beat the tis and most fxs, which have 4 pipelines? as this is based on the 9800 core, shouldnt the DX9 games be way better than the 9600xt, or am i gna be wasting £160?

AIW cards dont have extra power, but they do have a load of features.
Memory:
I'll give an example, using my graphics card, a Radeon 9700 Pro.
Memory type / 8 * Speed * 2
256bit / 8 = 32
620Mhz - since thats DDR half it, so 310.
Multiply by 2, since it is DDR.
So..
32 * 310 * 2 = 19840 Mb/s.
Now I think thats right, but I'm not totally sure.

Beating a 9600Pro and GeForce 4 ti's, however interesting, just isn't enough for some :)
i have seen the 7900 non ultra for £170; BUT it has 400/250 clock; will the 5900 or the 9800se AIW be a wiser investment? what would a 5900 get in benches and will the slow memory be such a bane?
also, for the tv card on the AIW will i be able to use a regular tv aerial or will i have 2 use a proper 1 from the cabling? also, where can i find an fm raio tuner aerial?

I can't answer any questions in that, bar one. If you want to know scores, use google. There should be a plethora of results.
rofl 5900XT?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
