I see, I did not know how to interpret those as dates. That's one detail explained for me.

I also have a revision A lying around that unfortunately did not picture. Besides the dates, what about the line below them? I suppose all of these cards technically are the same card. Might be a simple post we can close here. Thanks, DerBaum.
For these decoders my experience was that later PCB design/revisions may really be better for image quality considering these cards probably had a limited analog overlay logic that was removed in the later MPEG4 decoder. Anyway a great card for the times it was needed with a very good driver/sw compared to alternative unknown decoders that were even difficult to run depending on the config, even if when they ran they could have had better image quality and/or lower CPU usage. The choice of the VGA analog overlay option was needed to make these compatible with more configs even with a big cost in desktop image quality.
