Does the SDR model has full dvd support as the DDR versions? I read a review at rage3d and it writes "Radeon 32MB SDR is missing Rage Theater chip and ViVo functions" but in the ATi site it writes "Industry best DVD playback,
Process full-frame rate, full-screen DVD or MPEG-2 video, Hardware DVD saves the expense of buying a separate MPEG-2/DVD decoder card, Integrated iDCT and motion compensation allows for DVD decoding with minimum CPU usage, HDTV ready". Is this the rage theater chip? Some models have it and some dont? Please help!

DVD decoding (mpeg2) is done inside of the Radeon chip. ViVo is just that, a hook up for video in/out. The SDR Radeon will have the same spectacular DVD as any other Radeon card.
