ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128MB

Does anyone know how the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB compares on performance to the shared 256MB in new Minis? Also, in iMacs with an 800mhz system bus that have 667mhz ram preinstalled, will they take (and run at full capacity) 800mhz ram?

Does anyone know how the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB compares on performance to the shared 256MB in new Minis? Also, in iMacs with an 800mhz system bus that have 667mhz ram preinstalled, will they take (and run at full capacity) 800mhz ram?

Benchmark tests show that they perform about the same. The advantage of the 2400 is that it does not borrow from system memory, 128MB of VRAM is plenty for a 20 inch screen. Last, my iMac is running with 800mhz ram at full speed if that answers your question.
