That is the chipset, but a number of mfr.s can use the
same chipset, yet the results you obtain might not be
the same from one vendor's video card to another.=20
(The design ? The implementation ? Other chips on
the board ?)

I would like to know of better comparative info on
such things myself. Right now, the reference I know
of would be the Scitech support list for SNAP. (This
is probably turning less relevant, as time goes on,
and Panorama becomes our only option.) Then there are
the hardware reviews to be found at ecomstation.ru,
which vary a lot in the extent of the info. And any
anecdotal reports one might find or solicit on the
newsgroups. Maybe even a report or two here. (My own
system build or rebuild projects are still pending, so
I have nothing first hand to contribute as yet. That
said, comments on ecs.ru and some general outside
reviews have gotten me interested in the PowerColor
product line, which are ATI-based.)

Am I overlooking any other source ?
