    Jim,

    So, in order of capability:

    8500
    9100/8500LE
    9000Pro
    9000, 9200 (Sapphire 9200 256MB video card part number 1024-8C13-05-SA)
    9250 (240 Mhz clock)
    9200SE (64 bit memory - Sapphire does not list a 256MB version of this card).


    Thanks for that, I don't think I'm espically thick when it comes to these things, but the Radeon naming system is really doing me 'ed in!

    I've just worked out that I've actually got a Sapphire 256MB 9200P in my Peg 2, I thought it was 'only' a 256MB 9250, so that's going to be good enough for my MorphOS/AmigaOS 4.1 dual boot, espically as (insert flamewar comments in here) Amiga OS4.1 dosn't have 8500 drivers.

    More precisely, it has no 3D drivers for 8500/8500LE/9100. In 2D mode these cards are supported like the other supported cards, except for compositing.

    > how would i find out

    Sys:Utilities/GraphicBoards shows the VRAM clock at least.

    I've noticed that MacOS X reports 2 Radeon 9000 cards as Pro, but MorphOS reports memory clock speed at 250Mhz for both, I suspect MacOS is tell porkes.

    With both on leopard it only shows 64mb of Ram, in MorphOS one shows and uses 128MB, the other only 64MB

    Just as a warning/note to anyone buying a second hand Mac and is using the OSX system profiler.
