ddr ram or no ddr ram that is the question

[Guest]

A guy told me that 64mb of ddr ram does absolulty no better for performance on a graphics card than 64mb of SDRAM. I thought I have read otherwise. Any comments to this statement?

Yoru friend is WRONG! A huge limiting factor on modern day graphics cards is teh memory bandwith- why would u cut it in 1/2 by getting SDRAM??

And my exact same thoughts. ANYTHING running 64megs of sdr is junk, stay away from it.

The ONLY modern graphics card that makes this true is the GeForce2 MX. The reason is that if it uses SDRAM, the memory path is 128 bits; if it uses DDR-SDRAM, the memory path is only 64 bits. Why it is setup this way, I don't know, but it makes it so that there is no memory bandwidth difference between SDRAM models and DDR-SDRAM models.
