We already have an open platform in the ATI R200. They cost $20 to
buy.
That would be used? or OEM?
I have one -- a Radeon 9200 card.
Be careful not to position the OGC as competition to that card.
Right now the ATI R200 has almost an identical feature set to what you
are building.
You are correct that this is similar. But, I suggest otherwise. We
should target this card as a benchmark. If we can offer a card that
equals the performance of the Radeon 9200 AGP (with the XF86 r200
driver) for $100 we will have a good product. If we can sell it
cheaper, we will have a better product.
Remember that there are a finite number of used ones available. That
this card will never support PCIe or HTX MotherBoards. That it will
probably be discontinued sooner or later. And that its current
popularity is due mostly to the fact that there is an Open Source XF86
driver for it.
