ATi 'Rage 128'

A boxed version of the ATi Rage 128. It's marketed with it's 32MB of RAM and DVD playback capability.

I wonder about it's performance. It won't be up to the standard of 3dfx and nVidia cards, but according to Wikipedia the XPERT 2000 should have the ATi Rage 128 VR chip with 64-bit memory bus. My XPERT 2000 has the GL chip which should be able to communicate over a 128-bit line (EDIT: but indeed probably doesn't on this card). > Read more

ATi still didn't have the performance crown in the 3D-accelerator world and thus they threw the Rage 128 in the boxing ring. The Rage 128 is a DirectX 6 compliant accelerator and can do two pixels per clock.

Globally two versions exist; the GL and VR. The latter always has an 64-bit memory bus where the GL version can handle 128-bit. However, if the PCB/memory lay-out is still 64-bit then a GL-version will fall back to 64-bit, too.

It's bigger brother; Rage 128 Pro didn't perform that good. Don't expect much of the normal version ;). > Read more
