Budget Battle: HyperMemory vs. TurboCache

Half Life 2 Performance
This time around, the ATI card has the advantage, but not by much over the 32MB TurboCache card. Again, these numbers were run with the highest settings in HL2, and we are quite happy with the smoothness of the action under here.
As we can see, all but the 16MB TC card perform about the same.
Antialiasing and Anisotropic filtering add a great deal to the image quality of this game. We ran some numbers to see if we could get away with enabling these options. We find that enabling 2xAA and 4xAF leads to about the same framerates as a bump up in resolution.

Unfortunately, I don't think this was a completely fair test of hypermemory, since the Radeon X300 (synonymous with 9200) is complete crap, while Geforce 6200 is probably adequate for most users (I think there equivalent or better than the Radeon 9600's)
