Normal Rage 128 Pro should be clock @120 MHz for GPU/mem, some of them can have faster ram, around 140 MHz. There are two slightly different clocked versions of Rage MAXX, 118/140 and 125/142 but its dosen't support AGP texturing. Some "ultras" are clocked 130/130 but often have 64-bit memory bus …

Never have I seen Rage Pro with a different core clock. Does that "Pro Turbo PCI" have EDO memory by any chance? No, cards have SD or SG ram but Rage Pro Turbo PCI is slower than LT Rage Pro PCI, fillrate is this same but textures rendering is faster on LT Pro. AGP cards of Rage Pro Turbo and LT …

I believe that the differences may also apply to others "rage pro family" chips. I have only Rage Pro Turbo and Rage LT Pro but both chips in three versions: 8MB/SG/AGP, 8MB/SD/AGP, 8MB/SD/PCI. I can only compare the PCI models directly because I haven't tested all AGP cards yet. PCI cards have …

I always have this problem, they test new banshees but I always forget what the solution was :) Try to install the drivers through the control panel -> add new hardware and search from disk. One of the ways to install the drivers will definitely work. Newer drivers may …

Try to install an older version of the via4in1 drivers. I have the same under Windows98 SE but under WindowsXP AGP speed is always right. I noticed that for some cards, different drivers can set higher AGP speed.
