WTF? A Radeon???

[camieabz]

I found this in my travels through the world of cheap parts.

"Super ATI Radeon VE 64MB AGP VGA TV Out - Retail Box"

£34.40

Most of the Radeons are £120 - £200+

What's going on?

I've never heard of it. Is it DDR or SDRAM version.
And what the heck is "super" supposed to stand for.

The specs look good, for that price though there was either a mistake or sometings wrong with it.

can you give us a link to the site where you find this product, for 30 its a good price, and the pound or how you spell it is just a little more then a US right, so that should be great,

I can't give you a link right to it, as I get it on a search and the search function prevents links.

Do a product search. Category - vid cards, sub category - AGP, manufacturer - Super Grace Electronics.

The Radeon VE is a CUT DOWN Radeon, the Radeon DDR is about 50% faster than the Radeon VE. It's like comparing a GeForce2 GTS to a GeForce2 MX.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Radeon VE has no T&L engine...where you guys been? Its slighly slower than a mx400.

It's not what they tell you, its what they don't tell you!
