remember the 90s
all the old über POS ati cards had ram slots to 'upgrade' them. - like the rage II cards all had ram upgrades.
point was so ati could rip ppl off... er wait... let u buy and extra 4mb sdram chip and get 24bit 2d on a 'big' 1600/1200 monitor.
'tis sad ram upgrades arnt industry standard now-aday. well...good that we don't need a bloody upgrade to get 24bit 1600/1200 2D
