Specifications
DDR memory is forced to run in 64-bit mode, while SDR memory is still able to run in 128-bit mode.
Runs at 175mhz core / 166mhz memory.
GeForce2 MX-400 - The same as a GeForce2 MX, except it runs at 200mhz core / 166mhz memory.
GeForce2 GTS (DDR) - Runs at 200mhz core / 166mhz memory.
GeForce2 Pro (DDR) - The same as a GeForce2 GTS, except it runs at 200mhz core / 200mhz memory.
GeForce2 Ti (DDR) - The same as a GeForce2 GTS, except it runs at 250mhz core / 200mhz memory.
GeForce2 Ultra (DDR) -
The same as a GeForce2 GTS, except it runs at 250mhz core / 230mhz memory.
GeForce3 Ti 200 (DDR) - The same as a GeForce3, except it runs at 175mhz / 200mhz memory.
GeForce3 (DDR)- Runs at 200mhz core / 230mhz memory.
GeForce3 Ti 500 (DDR) - The same as a GeForce3, except it runs at 240mhz core / 250mhz memory.
See the 'What is the difference between an SDR and a DDR board?
' question for information on SDR and DDR.
The GeForce2 series uses a 0.18 micron manufacturing process instead of the 0.22 micron used in the previous
process, meaning less power consumption and heat production. All cards in the series have a second generation
T&L engine, can render two textures per pixel instead of just one, have the NSR (NVIDIA Shading Rasterizer)
and an HDVP (High Definition Video Processor) for better DVD and HDTV support.
The GeForce2 MX supports 2 monitor outputs for TwinView (two video outputs to two monitors, or one
monitor and a flat screen display or TV) on the same card) and Digital Vibrance Control. It has only 2 texture
pipelines instead of 4 on the GeForce or GeForce2 GTS, is restricted to a 64 bit memory bus for DDR, and has
a less advanced HDVP without support for some high-end modes. In general it does not require a fan on the
heatsink.
The GeForce3 uses 0.15 micron manufacturing process. It is a new generation of chip, much faster than the
GeForce2, fully DirectX 8 compliant, has the nfiniteFX Engine engine, providing support for vertex and pixel
shaders, Lightspeed Memory Architecture for improved memory bandwidth, and High-Resolution Antialiasing
(HRAA) support for faster antialiasing support in the form of Quincunx antialiasing. It also supports Digital
Vibrance Control.
The GeForce2 Go chips are for integration in laptops - once again, the cheapest and slowest chips first, and the
most expensive and fastest cards last.
GeForce2 Go 100 - Runs at 125mhz core / 166mhz memory, with 16MB of 32bit DDR memory.
GeForce2 Go 200 - Runs at 143mhz core / 166mhz memory, with 32MB of 64bit DDR memory.
GeForce2 Go - Runs at 143mhz core / 166mhz memory, with 64MB of 64bit DDR memory or 128bit
SDR memory.
The GeForce2 Go is based around the same architecture as the standard GeForce2, with less power
consumption produced by a lower core voltage and speed.

Q. What is and where can I get AGP Wizard?
If you have a Creative card, there is a utility called AGP Wizard that will allow you to enable sidebanding as
well as Fast Writes and switch between AGP1X/2X/4X. It will
not
work on any other card because it checks
the Video BIOS to see if you have a Creative card. You do
not
have to have Creative drivers installed. It is
available here:
http://www.americas.creative.com/support/files/download.asp?Centric=61&descID=706
In addition, the Creative official drivers and FastTrax drivers have the functionality of AGP Wizard built in.
