What is DG suffix in "AIW 9600XT DG"
My local Fry's has advertised an AIW 9600XT DG video card for $129 (OEM
packaging) with no rebate. This is close to the lowest price I have ever seen for these cards even after rebates. I have never seen the DG suffix for this line of cards and the ATI website does not have one. What exactly does this suffix mean and is there any gotcha. I do not need a powerful card and only want the AIW 9600XT for the FM tuner (most AIW with AGP bus do not have this feature and you have to step up to at least the AIW 9600XT for it. Currently running probably first generation AIW radeon card). Roland |

What exactly does this suffix mean and is there any gotcha. I'm not sure...but it has a different part number than the retail AIW 9600XT and is $60-65 less. Can't find any info as the meaning or what's left out or off the card. Maybe it's just missing all the pretty packaging, it is described as "white box", but every site that carries it has no details as to specs or functions. My guess is that it's a standard AIW 9600XT card without most of the assorted input/output cables and retail box. |
