Can someone a little more technical than me let me know what it means that the white box version is clocked @ 250/250 instead of the 275/275 for the retail version?
I have a Pentium II 800mhz I am htpc-ing, and would like to use this card for. At the end of the day, what difference does this clockspeed issue make, and is it worth the $100 difference between the OEM and retail versions price?
Thanks for any help.
