I think he meant who makes the card you are getting.
You can get the memory clock up to near 4600 specs, but the core clock speeds are not obtainable. And all that is assuming that the 4600 is not oc'd and you cant get the really good oc figures on the 128mb card. But I am sure you knew that already.
I have that card, but I still get bad fps for some reason. I am thinking maybe I didn't delete all the older drivers, maybe that would slow it down, also, i need some sort of overclocking tool, anyone know where i can get one?
I have that same card you are getting. Just make sure to install the drivers correctly and everything should be good to go. With every setting maxed out in the game I average from a lowest FPS of 23 (crossroads) to a highest of 210 (Algiers) . My comp specs are alittle higher than yours but you should be in a similar range as I am.
Acctually as of late the 128MB chips are almost no better than some models of the 64MB chips. But of course bigger is better and that will sell, who the hell cares about preformance?

Depending on the game you are are playing, the 64mb card often out performs the 128mb card. The ram used on the 64mb cards is better. The 128 cards do perform better when the volumn of the load increases, but most games on the market today do not have that type of load. The 128 cards will probably have better longevity with the newer games.
I should have said ti4400 specs, since that's pretty much what my friend is up to.. 275mhz core/525mhz mem
Btw, you're not going to get the best out of these cards till you get a DDR system. Although, going from that ATI 7000 to a ti4200 is more than just a marginal upgrade
