EVE: The Second Genesis Performance
Eve does want a fast system in general, and this time around, the MR9800 is comparable to the 9700 Pro. We do see a bit more of a drop in performance when enabling 4xAA/8xAF, but 16 fps is actually playable in EVE (though we'd still recommend running without AA/AF enabled for a smooth visual experience here). We don't have anything to compare it to (as we didn't run the other cards at this resolution), but the MR9800 is capable of playing this game at the display's native resolution of 1920x1200, which looks beautiful and runs fine without AA and AF on.

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.
