Platinum version of Hightech Radeon 9600XT

[Hm]

Hi there,

I have just received the components for a PC I intend to build this
weekend. Only one minor problem. I ordered the 'Platinum' edition of
the Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9600XT but ebuyer sent me the 'Classic'
version.

Does anyone know what the difference between the two cards is? If it's
just the bundled on-line copy of 'Half Life 2' I'm not bothered, but I
vaguely recollect that the Platinum edition is overclocked with extra
cooling and runs faster. Anyone know if this is the case, and if so,
how much of a difference this makes in practice.

Thanks.

You always should get what you have bought, so call the shop!
