The 3D RAGE PRO chip is available in AGP and PCI variants. The AGP 2X
mode version supports the AGP 2X mode and a 230 MHz DAC and is packaged
in a 256-pin BGA. The AGP 1X mode version is a pin-compatible 256 BGA
for cost-sensitive markets, which supports the AGP 1X mode and a 200 MHz
DAC. The PCI version is packaged in a 208-pin PQFP, which is also a
pin-compatible performance upgrade for ATI's family of 264VT and 3D RAGE
chips, offering a fast refresh strategy option for OEM systems. The PCI
ver sion incorporates the same performance enhancements and new features
as the AGP 3D RAGE PRO version.

ATI will market 3D RAGE PRO boards to compete in all OEM and retail
market segments, including: 2MB upgradeable to 4MB or 6MB, 4MB
upgradeable to 8MB; 8MB upgradeable to 16MB; ATX and NLX form factor;
SGRAM and WRAM; PCI and AGP; x86 and PowerPC; with or without TV-out;
and with or without video capture.

ATI Multimedia Channel (AMC) multimedia add-on cards for 3D RAGE PRO
include ATI's existing line of TV tuners, video capture and hardware
DVD/MPEG-2. ATI's All-in-Wonder™ board that supports 2D, 3D, video-in,
TV-out and TV tuner on one board will be upgraded to a future version
All-in-Wonder featuring the advanced performance and features of the 3D
RAGE PRO chip.
