I'm looking at buying a Dell Inspiron 6400 with the ATI X1400 video card. I saw on the web that there is a 128bit version of the card and a 64 bit version. does anyone know how to tell which version dell is using?
is the X1400 significantly better than the integrated intel 950 gpu? Apparently the X1400 has 128MB of onboard ram and uses up to 128 of system RAM. would this make it better <?> or worse <?> than a GPU that ONLY has 128MB of onboard ram? Is it a jack of all trades and master of none? or does it actually perform as well as ATI claims?
-=- jmk -=-|||there is a 64MB version the X1300 and a 128MB version the X1400, this means the amount of dedicated ram. additionally both cards are capable, if needed, to double the amount of used ram, but that ram is shared with the main memory (this technique by ATI is called Hypermemory).
the onboard Intel GMA 950 has no dedicated ram (all used ram is shared with the main memory) and is pretty much slower than a X1300 or a X1400.|||Unlikely that they are referring to "bits". It is more likely Mega Bytes and that then refers to RAM. The more RAM you have the better your video performance is.
