GT220 GPUZ, also question

I have decided to buy this card:
http://www.galaxytech.com/en/productview.aspx?id=177

To replace my Galaxy 9500GT1GB. I am giving my single core to a friend, i guess she wouldn't mind the 9500gt with it. So i am going to buy the Galaxy gt220 most likely next weekend, however, does anyone have the correct gpu-z stats listed yet?
I gather the GT220 is slightly faster then the 9500gt right?

The GDDR3 GT220 (e-tailers only) ran on-par with the 9500 GT in W1zzard's review. Seems to be bottlenecked by its RAM (especially the DDR2 version). It's honestly a huge waste of money compared to say a 9600/9800 GT. For Bestbuy's rip-off price you can buy a 9800 GT ECO (doesn't need a PCIe power connector) and get 2-4x the performance + have $30 to boot.

Well really my only question was to see the correct gpu-z stats using a GT220 DDR2 card. As for buying a 9800GT ECO card, um i am buying a 9800gt , but for my Quad core which i am buying later this year. The GT220 is for my dual core i am buying next weekend.

I don't think there are any correct info for the card lol
gpuz is reporting 25.28 GB with 625 core and 400 memory, which is good tho.

It should have only 16GB/s of bandwidth with the DDR2 version. GPU-Z is probably reporting it as having GDDR3. It reports my 210 as having DDR3 when it has DDR2.

yes, get the GDDR3 version.

performance is between 9500GT and 9600GT I'd say.
