I understand the Radeon renders screens cell-by-cell as opposed to full-screen
like regular 3D accelerators. Therefore, it can get by with lower memory to
get the job done. There was a comparision of the Radeon and GForce but I
forget how much RAM the Radeon had. The Radeon performed very well in the
32-bit tests.

Just got this in my email this am:
DealNN.com has this "pre-order" special going:
Exclusive pre-order price of $235 for the ATI Radeon AGP 32MB cards.
http://www.dealnn.com/
32 meg? To get up to the speed of the geforce2 you "probably" should be
waiting for the 64 meg version.

must admit, the colors are fantastic.

The difference in the memory isn't that bad, it's the fact that the clock
speed of the memory and the GPU is lower than the 64 mb version that makes
it slower.

Sounds
like classic ATI drivers ;-). Outstanding hardware without good drivers is
like a porsche 930 with Firestone SUV tires (just kidding calm down, not
making light of real injuries to people caused by these things).

I'm going to have to agree with Harjan Brand here. The main reason
for any performance difference has to do with the different clock
speeds of the two cards rather than the difference in the amount of
RAM. Even so, the difference is only really noticeable if you play in
res of higher than 1280x1024.
