ATI Mobility Radeon 9800: Notebooks Get Next Generation Graphics

Homeworld 2 Performance
Homewold 2 shows very little impact from increasing resolution with the MR9800, but explaining why this should happen is a bit of a mystery. It may be a power management issue at lower resolutions, as that's where the MR9800 falls further behind the rest of the pack. We will have to look into this further, but for now, we're content to run HW2 at 16x12 with 4xAA/8xAF.

What are teh actual specifications of the MR9800 as configured in the Dell XPS laptop? I assume it had 256 MB of RAM with a 256-bit bus, but what was the clockspeed of the RAM and the GPU core? I'm betting lower clocked RAM is a major reason that the MR9800 sometimes falters in performance.
