WHAT? Who told you that? The only important thing is, that the ram has not a 64bit interface, so be carefull with extremely cheap 5200's. There is no game out there that uses 256 of onboard graphics ram. And if it is such a beast out there that needs such insane amounts of memory, it would be too demanding for a fx 5x00. So you can buy the 128mb versions... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
