ATI Rage II/Pro/XL core cards produced until 2023, installed in billions of PC/Macs/notebooks, officially supported in Win 7 and i will not be surprised to see their drivers in Win 8-8.1-10-11 ;) Yeah, but that was because low price, when it went out of 3d mainstream, and because of its 2d …

Fantastic price lists, shows just how big of a scam S3 and ATI were running at the time :) Yeah, I also provide average month salary in Czech Republic in 1998, so you can calculate, how much money demanding those prices were. https://www.finance.cz/zpravy/finance/7910-vyvoj-prumerne-hrube-mzdy-v- …
