Radeon 9600 with 128mb of dual channel memory?? WTF is that?

[EgoShowcase]

A AMD athlon 64 with a 160 gig hard drive in a emachine? Like the people who buy emachines know what there geting. I guess AMD has to make $ some how and if it takes a deal with emachine then oh well. Still think there better off puting duron in them.

Emachines doing their homework???? I had a athlon xp 2400 here in the shop the other day, It seemed to run acceptable. But what the hell.

I don't really care whom AMD ends up with; as long as it's a Tier1 vendor with a main-stream retail box.

Good job AMD :thumbsup:

I've got news for you guys:
The new AMD based E-Machines are passably decent computers.

What's good:
AGP slot
Industry standard parts

What's bad:
Crap PS
Crap cooling
Integrated video + small RAM standard
FIC motherboard

But with a few upgrades, the AXP E-Machines aren't too bad.

Anyhow, I figured out why the idiots at BestBuy labeled the 9600 as having "dual channel memory". What is the bus width of single-channel DDR? 64-bits. Dual-channel is therefore 128-bit. OBVIOUSLY, any 128-bit interface is dual-channel :rolleyes:

It appears as if they may have fixed it. It says this now:


ATI RADEON 9600 graphics with 128MB dual-channel video memory (128-bit); amplified stereo speakers
