Waiting for a special P400 white edition for this beauty:

The attachment 20260508_105110.jpg is no longer available

Never been used; with factory thermal grease included. That one will not be used for sure.

Plan to pair it with this:
AMD K7 Athlon 1000 (Orion - Slot A)
ATi Radeon - AGP - 64MB DDR w/Core&Memory:166/166 (PN 109-70700-01)
ASUS K7M

First Radeon, now named Radeon 7200 is good card. 64MB DDR - Retail Box version had higher clocks out of the box than OEM Bulk.

Also i dont get it why ATi had bad performance with GTA3 😀

The whole first Radeon is a mess, complete mess.
You got Rage 6 naming before release.
You got Radeon naming at the release.
Then after months it was renamed Radeon 7200.

And the above is not even the messy part!

Put in a box:
Radeon with SD RAM.
Radeon with SG RAM.
Radeon with DDR.

Add:
32MB and 64MB RAM memories.

Add:
AiW (All in Wonder)

Shake it very well / mix it up.

Whatever falls out of the box is a working 1st gen Radeon card. Like 10+ different models. 😁

From the 64MB DDR part you got 3! different speeds and you could not now which one you got when you bought one!
There was 166MHz core and memory, the one in the video posted is running these speeds. PN 109-70700-01
There was the 184MHz core and memory, this was somewhat available.
Then there was the ultra rare 200MHz core and memory. PN 109-70700-20

Now, going from 166 to 200 there is a quite a big speed difference, considering the speeds at the time.
