The 4800SE had abysmally slow memory compared to the 4400 (SD RAM instead of DDR).

Nope.

Maybe not all cases? I find conflicting info about this. Some sites says 4800SE has SDR and 4.4Gbps bandwith, some says DDR and 8.8Gbps.

Fastest AGP cards available from ATi with proper 16-bit dithering - Radeon X1950XT.

16 bit? Why? Each DX9 game supports 32bit! Already a Geforce3 had hardly any speed differences between 16bit and 32bit.
If you need nice 16bit dithering, i recommend a 3Dfx - Voodoo2 or Voodoo3. Very compatible with 16bit DOS, Glide and DX5 games.

16 bit? Why?

Because 32-bit color is not supported by everything.

Some sites says 4800SE has SDR and 4.4Gbps bandwith

Some sites also report about alien conspiracy.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

I was talking about Techpowerup GPU database and videocardz.net, not some underground blogs.

They are not reliable for old hardware.

Obvious mistakes in database entry. Both sites are full of them.
