128 MB GF4 owners lend me your ear :)

I had some 4200s that would come close to 4600 speeds. Surpass 4400 speeds

If you read the writing on the RAM chips themselves, somewhere it should have some numbers ending with 4, 36 or 3.6. Something like that anyway. That'll be the latency of the RAM. If it's 4 then I imagine the card SHOULD be clocked at 444 MHz stock, but will probably go higher, at least 500 MHz. As to why some 128MB cards had slower RAM, it was for cost reasons as well. Producing cards with twice as much RAM as the 3.6 ns RAM typically found on the 64MB cards would have put the prices very high.

My little Albatron Ti4800 SE (4400 w/ 8x agp) is at 315/725 for daily usage.

not sure of the speed of my ram, but she wont bulge past 520 without artifacting, so its probably 4.5ns ram because 4.5ns translates to 444MHz stock

You could not be any more wrong TB1Ghz

The older FGorce4-4200 128Mb had their mem clocked at 444 Mhz.
The newer ones with AGPX8 have their mem clocked at 512 Mhz.
I know I checked the web before I bought mine.

The original refference board is the only one i know of that actually used 4.5ns ram.

All 128MB ti4200's AFAIK use at least 4ns and overclock accordingly.

Just out of curiosity, what was he wrong about? 4.5ns RAM is rated at 222MHz, or 444MHz DDR, which is what he said.
