The card has AGP x8/x4 interface and a 128 Mb DDR SDRAM allocated in 8 chips on the front and the back sides of the PCB.
EtronTech memory chips (BGA). 3.3ns memory access time, which corresponds to 300 (600) MHz; memory operates at 250 (500) MHz. GPU frequency 400 MHz. 128-bit memory bus. Note the higher frequencies in comparison with a common RADEON 9550 (250/200 (400) MHz).
SEFU VLD: What concerns X800 PRO, obviously, there is no need in a further description of the card, as it is the same reference card before us. And besides, all X800-cards are manufactured in a single place by ATI demand, vendors just attaching their stickers.
But GeCube RADEON 9550 XT Extreme is very interesting. We can see, that though the card has a design similar to RADEON 9600 XT (comparison with this card was not accidental, in fact the PCB of the card contains a symbolic notation RG96XT, which certifies PCB's belonging to 9600 XT), it has its distinctions, mostly concerned with the RAGE Theater (VIVO) arrangement, though the codec itself is not installed.
Note that this card is equipped with a massive cooler with a fan:
SEFU VLD: The design is obviously styled after the well-known cooling system from RADEON 9800 XT. Actually, such a cooler may be indeed necessary, because the core is heavily overclocked from 250 up to 400 MHz (as it turned out later, it's still RV360, not RV350, and thus its operation at 400 MHz is quite possible, though the chip is marked as 9550).
