RV250 actually. The DRI website contains a few other inaccuracies about ATI's Radeon video hardware. Nothing mission critical, but it is incorrect: http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/radeon_naming.html Radeon VE a.k.a Radeon 7000, is not R100, it is RV100. Another thing missing is the original "Radeon LE", which was made by a third party in the Asian region. This card is claimed to have no TCL unit, however it is a Radeon QD and is identical to any other Radeon R100 cards (which are also QD), and does in fact have a TCL unit. I believe the BIOS and/or Windows drivers for this card simply disable the TCL unit, but since the chip is a QD, like all other QD boards, it has a TCL unit. The only difference I know of between this board, and the real "Radeon 7200" aka "Radeon 64 DDR", is the type and speed of the memory, and that the TCL unit is somehow disabled via software. * Radeon 8700 (FireGL) It's really called "FireGL 8700" and "FireGL 8800", and both are as stated on the page Radeon R200 based chips, but neither was ever marketed as "Radeon 8700" or "Radeon 8800", so that will just confuse anyone reading it. It is more correct to list this card the way that ATI names it, under it's FireGL name. At the bottom of the page: * 7X00 denotes a R100 based card. Should be removed, as Radeon 7000, is RV100, not R100. Also, ATI just released 3 new cards this week, none of which are supported in X yet, but which are likely incredibly easy to add support for once the PCI IDs are known. The Radeon 9200 Pro, Radeon 9600 Pro, and Radeon 9800 Pro Radeon 9200 Pro == RV280 Radeon 9600 Pro == R300 Radeon 9800 Pro == R300 Just thought I'd post this to help improve the accuracy and completeness of that Radeon page.
