    ATI RADEON XPRESS 1100 or X200

    Just want to play the occasional Diablo 2 and warcraft 3.

    Which is going to play better?

    I imagine the X1100 is better but don't quote me on this.

    I think the 1100 but not by much, either will play both of those games fairly well.

    The x1100 is the upgrade of the x200m.

    The x1100 gets a core of 300MHz paired with up to 667MHz ram.
    The x200m has a core of 200MHz and paired with up to 400MHz ram.

    So the x1100 is the more powerful chip.

    The Xpress 1100. Bigger number ftw.

    Xpress 1100 is an improvement (see above posts) but maybe you'll see a bit of difference. I'm not sure though ;)

    "paired with up to 667MHz ram."
    I don't get this part, can someone explain?

    Agree with yuio, games have a few years on them and should be no problem.

    The X200 has 300mhz core and so does the X1100. It's the X1150 that gets an increase to 400mhz, the difference between X200 and X1100 are small - just a name difference really.

    Infact, some programs identify the X1100 AS the X200.

    I wouldn't let the choice between the X200 and X1100 make ANY difference in your choice of purchase, look to other components and price sway you instead.
