It's counted as 1 GB because the data needs to be replicated on both cores. Hence, only 1GB amount of data can be used at an instance.

QUOTE(ruffstuff @ Jul 14 2008, 08:39 PM) On the technical terms, yes.. they are not sharing memory. Physically speaking, if it were 1gb each side, it should be 2gb. Unless, they can ignore that in term of costing also. I don't mind at all. Well, of course in term of costing it'd be included. But we as users shouldn't be concerned about costing at all. Anyway, the card is performing well and is really nice for those who don't have CF capable mobos. I wonder how much it'll be when it reaches Malaysia. |
