<Onboard geometry engines will need to be fed with vertex data. If the graphics card does not have texture memory onboard, that will cause additional pressure on the DRAM bus.> Even with texture memory, you'll need to fill that memory somehow, especially if the graphics card has large amounts of texture memory. I'm planning on buying a TNT2 w/ 32 MB of texture memory. Refilling that much memory every time the scene changes requires a good AGP implementation, and of course, a DRAM channel that can handle the bandwidth. Tenchusatsu
