GeForce4 488 Go: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce4 488 Go sales 1 March 2002. This is a laptop graphics card based on a Celsius architecture and made with 150 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. 64 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.28 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 8.8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a graphics card attached via AGP 8x interface.
