- Nah, AA and AGA are the same. AA (or its full name "Pandora") were the
- names during development, only after that someone in marketing obviously
- decided to expand that name to AGA. But they didn't ask us Europeans:
- We cannot use the term AGA, as this was already used for some PC video
- card here heavily not long ago. There is no indication yet of the name
- of the coming announced new chipsets. Oh pardon, yes there was: I heard
- a rumor calling them "triple A" or AAA, but absolutely *no* guarantee!!!
