ATI Introduced Radeon 9600 Pro PC and Mac Edition with Dual-Link DVI and 256MB VRAM

Expected for some time since sen offered by various online retailers, ATI Technologies Inc. today announced that they are introducing the Radeon 9600 Pro PC and Mac Edition, the first graphics card to support both platforms. While maintaining all the key software features for Mac OS X and Windows XP that users of ATI products for the Mac and PC have come to rely on, the Radeon 9600 Pro PC and Mac Edition offers dual-link capabilities to support ultra high-resolution flat panel monitors like the Apple 30-inch Cinema Display.

The dual platform Radeon 9600 Pro PC and Mac Edition is AGP 2.0 compliant, compatible with both AGP 4X and 8X systems, including Apple's Power Mac G4 series, Power Mac G5. The card can be booted in either platform and software drivers are included for both. ATI Displays, the fully optimized Mac OS X OpenGL driver, features advanced capabilities such as Versavision, enabling screen rotation from landscape to portrait mode. The AGP based Radeon 9600 Pro PC and Mac Edition is available for $199 MSRP. More... [Bill Fox]
