Are you sure Daryll?

If memory serves correctly, both PCI versions of the Radeon PCI are the same
(from the gold pins anyway) and the only thing that is changed is the microcode
which can be written to the card (like firmware update). So if I'm right, all
the Alpha people will need to do is to update the card BIOS...

Again - I'm not sure at this. I don't have here Radeon card to burn and torch
here at Aduva :)
