    As far as i know that isnt possible...?
    Is PC Wizard known for inaccuracy or am I just interpreting that data wrongly?

    If anyone with a M-152XL and/or Radeon HD 2600 is reading this, would you mind downloading PC Wizard 2008 and seeing if you get the same thing?

    PC Wizard 2008 is just showing it wrong. There's no indication anywhere that MR HD 2600 could have GDDR4 memory. Even Gateway states that it's GDDR3.

    That exactly my thinking.

    Right off NBC: Memory Type DDR2, GDDR3 (for the 2600)

    And if infact some how it was GDDR4, it would be an interesting comparison with the GDDR3 8600M GT...
    Honestly I would bet on the GDDR4 one, but thats me.
