Subject: ATI Graphic Card Listing Date: Jan
15, 1997
P/N: APPL0016-02
Thank
you for your inquiry regarding the capabilities and/or hardware configurations
of ATI graphics card. On the following pages you will find a set of quick
reference charts which list all retail and the most common OEM product names
along with some basic information about the capabilities and hardware.
This
is NOT an exhaustive list but does cover the products that applications are most
likely to encounter in the installed base. The following product are not
covered in this application note:
Any
graphics products introduced before the VGAWonder series. These include
CGA/monochrome cards such as the Graphics Solution, EGA cards such as the
EGAWonder and the VIP.
Motherboard
graphics which use ATI chipsets. These designs are not under the control of ATI
and therefore we cannot make any representations in regards to them.
OEM
products which are sold under another vendor's trade name. The listed OEM
product names are either generic or products which the vendor publicly made it
known that they where manufactured by ATI. The terms of our contract with other
vendors prevent us from disclosing their information.
The
information is accurate to the best of our knowledge at this date. ATI may make
changes to listed products or introduce new products at any time without
notice. The SVGA, mach8 and mach32 family products have not been shipped for
some time and therefore this information can be considered to be stable. The
mach64 GX family products are currently in its end of life phase and several
products are no longer shipped. It is unlikely that any new products based on
the mach64 GX will be introduced. ATI is actively developing additional
variants of the mach64 chipset with exciting new functionality. There will be a
number of new products and using the new chipsets in existing products over the
remainer of the year. Please monitor the ATI BBS, Compuserve Forum. Web site
and/or Fax Back service for new product announcements.
