Hi,
Im not that shocked about this, In the PC world a graphics card company is considered dead if it hasnt launched anything in three months so your going to find that there are lots of cards by the one company which only has tiny differences but are sold as very different cards, This includes things like extra memory, TV out, TV capture card and things like that, All of which the GPU (Graphics chip) can use but for cost dont always use them.
Its going to be something the new Amiga magazines will have to address quite well as we are a bit better than the normal computer user so the word "Pro" will beg the question "Whats different about it" (In a place like PC World they would just try and explain the card is for use in large companys where as the basic model will "Accelerate your web browsing" or some other bull.)

Anyway enough about that from me  ;-)
