298548	2004-12-01 06:59:00	Hello, once again i have another question about GFX cards :S Now im comparing the Memory/engine clock of the Radeon cards 9800 and 9600 Now what i found out is that the 9600 has more Engine clock than the 9800..... WHY? isnt more the better? but the 9800 has more memory clock. Is it worth paying the extra money getting a 9800pro Over a 9600XT? Also i read somewhere that 128mb cards are faster than 256mb cards, is that true? Thanks	Rpg_pro (5689)
