X1600 Pro = ?

[darkeen]

Well looking around I have found zero benchmarks for the x1600 pro and am wondering what would be its compliment? I have seen the XT around a lot but am wondering if I should recommend the pro to a friend for a new system or not. Anyone care to clue me in?

Same here. I want to see some benchmarks with ATI's 5.12 drivers and how well it overclocks.

while I have no doubt the core on the x1600 pro would get up to xt speeds...the memory is another story...

While I can't find any benchmarks of the x1600 pro...the x1600 mobility uses practically the same chip with the M56 and the memory speeds are much more comparable...

I took a quick look at the benchmarks and it looks like the slow memory really kills the performance of the mobility x1600...and the x1600 pro's memory is even slower...

Just get a 6600gt if you're looking for something in that price range...it'll kick the crap out of an x1600pro...
