Any RAM on a 9550 beyond 128 is wasted, same thing on an FX series adapter. Keep looking for something similar to the 9550 or 9600, or if you get a good price on it, a 6200TC perhaps. If you can't wait, a 9200 was better than the FX 5500, and the 9250 is closer to a 5200 than to a 9200. |
Older cards can only move data on a 64 Bit path, and thus can only get full use from 64 MB's - middle age cards such as the FX series and most of the Radeon 9xxx's, can benefit from 128 MB's, if the producer doesn't use degraded RAM (among the GF4's, it was common for 64 MB cards to run faster than 128 MB cards because of faster RAM).
