- 4.0 Identifying Your ATI Product
-
- You will find information here which will assist you in identifying
- current ATI mach64 and 3D RAGE products.
-
- ATI mach64 and 3D RAGE products have a 'SHOW SYSTEM INFORMATION' option
- in the MS DOS INSTALL program, on DISK #1 or your ATI INSTALLATION
- CD-ROM (e.g. D:\UTILITY), which will report the BIOS part number. The
- BIOS part number can also be found on a white sticker attached to the
- ROM chip on your ATI card. In most cases the first three digits of the
- BIOS part number will be 112 or 113. There is a direct relationship
- between the BIOS part number and the chip type (ASIC) used on the
- various ATI products.
-
- If you have an ATI INSTALLATION CD-ROM version 3.0 or greater and are
- running Windows 95, you can run ATISETUP.EXE and then select TOOLS from
- the menu and then SYSTEM CHECK. This will report information about which
- ATI product you have, including the BIOS part number listed in ADAPTER
- TYPE.
-
- The following list relates the BIOS part number to the chipset and also
- the bus type.
