Very interesting article, perhaps I can install this advanced-driver for the codec on my D1215! The root of the word ac AC 97 is all called "Audio Codec 97", meaning "audio multimedia digital Signal codec".

Any idea why the radeon-techdemos for the 8500 series (DX81) do not run on Win98se/WinME with DX8.1 and R9250? (Using latest ref-driver 6.2) On that same machine with WinXP they do work fine. All demos quit while loading the first 10% and then freeze. Radeons-Ark and Rage128Demo runs fine though... …
