Hey if i got a Geforce card with DDR ram on it will it work even though my MOBO don't support the DDR. Its a dumb question but i want to make sure. Im pretty sure it will.

Also.. What is the difference Between these 2 cards:

Asus V7700 Titanium Pure Geforce2TI 32Meg DDR AGP (Titanium)

Which would be better to get?

You motherboard doesn't need DDR support, because the video card is what is reading the DDR memory. The only thing your motherboard needs to support is AGP 2.0 (if you want AGP 4x) otherwise just AGP 1.0 (AGP 2x) will work just fine.

Asus makes some great cards, I have the Asus V7700 Deluxe. Just check out there web site for the differences, but I can tell you that the GF2 64Meg SDRam MX is probably the slowest, except in special situations that require more than 32 megs of texture memory. Slow by about 20% at the most.

'Pure' means that it has no video out to tv. Basically pure means it has only the basic hardware, no extra features like video in/out or 3d glasses support.

So the fastest card is probably the Titanium.

Best bang for your buck would be an Asus V7100 though. (I think...)

Yea thx alot of replying. I read nvidia's site on the Titanium cards and they are apparently suppose to be pretty good. I MAY instead of getting a upgrade for my computer invest in a GF3 TI card which runs about $320 + tax CND. Im sure the card will run fine on a P3-733. A lot better then the Voodoo5 i currently have. I can then just wait for Mobo Prices and Chip prices to lower and get myself a good ol AMD 1ghz+ upgrade.
