You're referring to the disqualified Radeon DDR cores that ATI sold to some Asian OEM manufacturer? I haven't seen these cards being sold here in Finland altough they were supposedly made available worldwide. I don't even remember what they were called. It'd be nice to get one though. > I really doubt they would make a truly crippled version of their chips > considering the extra HW Q/A and verification this would entail. I don't claim to be an expert on this stuff, but the VE might really be a different design since they had to make room for the 2nd display stuff. -- Ville Syrjala [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
