Crucial Cards
Crucial Radeon 9800 Pro 256
Crucial is a new player to the graphics card field. We were hoping that they would throw their hand into the graphics memory market and come up with something special for their cards, but they stuck with the same RAM modules as the other OEMs.
The 9800 Pro is still a solid performer, and we were even able to clock it to where it bested the reference 9800XT.
Hopefully, Crucial will stay in the game for another round of cards. Even though this design was reference, competition is always good.
Crucial does have other cards as well, but this is the only one that made it into our roundup.

Nice article. A passively cooled 9600XT?!...I've found my next video card. There is one thing that I am unclear about - the Seagate hard drive used in the test setup - is it an SATA drive?
