AGP DiME question

[Raptor^]

Ok, I've decided not to hijack that other thread anymore than has happened already.

If the G400 is DiME capable, will running it at 4X AGP with RDRAM give a performance increase over SDRAM where scenes with up to 80MB of textures onscreen are involved?

The only pc we have found that can handle this so far is an SGI 320/540, and they use their (proprietary) main memory for textures.

Any help would be appreciated, cos we want do dump these SGI boxes ASAP (not upgradeable, have to buy everything from SGI = expensive)

Yes, you will see an increase with AGP 4X and RDRAM, but you will not see better performance than the SGI.

Thanks, I'm not looking for more performance than the SG boxes, just a much better value, upgradeable solution that comes somewhere close.

Oh yeah, SGI discontinued these machines cos they outperformed an Onyx2 in this situation:P
