Got this URL on the new ATI Rage 128 from Dan Casey -
http://www.voodooextreme.com/3dxtc/articles/Rage128_indepth.htm I have
no
idea how accurate that site is, but the interview with ATI says there
will
be OS/2 drivers for that card.

-)I just heard that ATI will ship OS/2 drivers with its new Rage 128
card
-)when it's released in December (at, oh, $300!!!). Pretty hard core
gear,
-)and I still think it's a shift of direction (in the right direction,
if
-)it's true).

-)Anyone else with better info/sources? We are talking a PCI and an AGP
-)version, and the PCI comes with 32MB of on board SDRAM at 100MHz.
Should
-)be a fairly hot little number - ATI claims it runs cool because of
.25
-)micron technology. Over my non-technical head, but some of your gurus
-)may be able to make sense of it. Regards,
