Hi Arpi,

> what's the defference between radeon and radeon VE ?

ATi Radeon VE is the low-cost chipset with only 1 pixel pipeline instead of 3 
(or some other fancy 3D-word). So its 3D performance is worse than of normal 
Radeon chipset. However, the Radeon VE graphics card (the only card using 
this chipset) has dual-screen support, DVI out and TV out. For 70$ that 
should make it the perfect card for non-gamers. 

Unfortunately there seem to be small differences in drivers, because normal 
Radeon drivers don't work with Radeon VE.  :-(  At least not for Linux. :-(((

Normal Radeon cards are quite expensive and I think no other card has this 
combination of dual, TV and DVI, except for the real expensive like 
All-In-Wonder or so... But support is announced for quite a while now. We 
(except for Nick) just have to wait a little longer.

gruel 

P.S. What's too slow about G400 ?  3D?
