RADEON 7000 and 7200 on Tap

ATI just released two new additions to its RADEON family, the RADEON 7000 and RADEON 7200 boards, both of which have an MSRP of under $100. The RADEON 7000, based on the RADEON 7000 chip (previously known as the RADEON VE chip), is a 32MB DDR board that ATI says gives solid 2D and 3D performance and DVD playback at a price point of $79. The RADEON 7200 is a 64MB SDR graphics board, that gives you hardware transformation, clipping and lighting (T&L) geometry, CHARISMA ENGINE, and an on-chip hardware DVD decoder. The RADEON 7200 is based on the RADEON 7200 chip (previously known as the RADEON chip) and is priced at $99. Both boards are said to be on the street right now and will support Windows XP (which should see the light of day on October 25) Windows 2000, Windows Me and Windows 98.
