Felix, I did a little research and I think I figured out a few things regarding the integrated savages (http://www.via.com.tw/en/ProSavage%20Chipsets/prosav_index.jsp). The prosavage P/KN133 "twister" chipsets are the mobile prosavage core and they use the savage4 2D and 3D cores(http://www.via.com.tw/en/ProSavage%20Chipsets/pn133.jsp):
"The VIA ProSavage™ PN133 integrated mobile graphics chipset combines the rich 2D/3D graphics capabilities of the proven Savage4™ graphics core with advanced North Bridge features such as a 133MHz Front Side Bus and 133MHz SDRAM support." This follows what we saw today. The prosavage P/KM133 is the desktop version and uses the savage2000 2D core and the savage4 3D core (http://www.via.com.tw/en/ProSavage%20Chipsets/pm133.jsp): "The VIA ProSavage™ PM133 brings together award winning VIA Apollo Pro133A technology with the powerful Savage4™ 3D and Savage2000™2D graphics core to provide the most advanced, feature packed, integrated chipset solution on the market." They claim the prosavage DDR is based on the "prosavage 8" which I imagine is just an enhanced version of the regular prosavage chip (savage4 3d, savage2000 2d) with DDR memory (http://www.via.com.tw/en/apollo/p4m266.jsp): "The VIA ProSavageDDR P4M266 with a 400MHz Front Side Bus, the high performance DDR 200/266 memory controller from the VIA Apollo P4X266, and the superb performance of the enhanced S3 Graphics ProSavage8™ core yields an unbeatable mix of power, flexibility and value. Supporting enhanced 128-bit 3D and 2D engines, effective AGP 8X equivalent internal bandwidth throughput through 128-bit data paths, 32MB of Frame Buffer capability and DVD DXVA Motion Compensation for smooth DVD playback, the integrated S3 Graphics ProSavage8™ core provides class leading 2D,3D, video quality and performance." Also notice the "effective AGP 8X equivalent internal bandwidth." It's still a 4x chip, but since it's integrated they claim it has more bandwidth. Also while it looks like all the savages since the savage4 have motion compensation engines, the code S3 wrote may be specific to the prosavage DDR, which would explain why it hasn't worked on any of the older chips. With this in mind, I may refactor a bit of the code. Alex __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
