G200 vs. G400 (they´re family, however)

[Alec]

Hello, boys and girls of 2000!

This may seem a bit naive, but I´d like to know what the main differences between the G200 and the G400 are imagequality-wise (apart from EMBM). Is the gap that big? I won´t ask about speed...
It´s that I never saw a G400 in action.

Cheeeeeeeers

LOL

Imagine your G200 OCed 'til it starts smoking, having a brand new monitor ...

the picture is crystal clear
colors are beautiful
and performance is bearable in lower resolutions

Now the G400 is a even better in quality and about three times as fast as your G200 but it feeds two displays and has EMBMand seems to scale perfectly with your CPU ...



If I remember right, not even Greebe with his 900MHz Athlon reached the limitation of the G400 ... it just scaled further in performance.

Thanx, Maggi!

That was what I was looking for... but there´s nothing like seeing it in action, hey? (ooops!)

By the way, what does LOL mean? (I´m from Portugal)
