361&depa=1. later on when half life two came out the video card didnt
seem to be working up to what it should be. it was getting about
20fps-30 on average. so i reformated to make sure that wasnt the proplem becuase
updating the drivers didnt work. now after reinstaling windows i
still have a probplem. This time though i was looking at the ati
program called Catalyst Control center and when you go to help you
can see the information on your graphics card. as i was looking
through i found that the memory clock speed is only 338Mhz. half of
what is soposed to be.
Heres information on my pc and graphics card from Catalyst Control
center to help you further with my problem.

(it should be 340MHz or something but thats just fluctuation for you). The number you have in mind is the DDR value often sensationalized in marketing heehee.
