ATI Mobility Radeon X700 vs ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
ATI Mobility Radeon X700
► remove from comparisonATI Mobility Radeon X700 is the middle class graphic card for notebooks of the X000 series (the 1000 series). Its performance can be compared with NVIDIA Go 6600. Technically it is comparable with the desktop X700 graphic chip + energy saving functions.
The VideoShader HD technology helps the cpu in decoding MPEG1/2/4, Real Media, DivX and WMV9.
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
► remove from comparisonATI Mobility Radeon 9700 is the AGP pendant of the ATI Mobility Radeon X600. In these days it was the fastest available graphic card for notebooks and started the time of gaming noteboks. Despite its name, technically it is not related to the desktop graphic card 9700 (Pro), but with the 9600. Compared with the Mobility Radeon 9600 it is only higher clocked. The performance is like with X1400.
The version with only 32 MB memory can have a 64 bit memory interface. Then it is clearly slower!
