Radeon FireMV 2400 PCI

[Erwin Rol]

Hey Roland,

before I bought the card I had some mail exchange with some ATI FireMV
support person. On my mail with the question if the FireMV has just two
M9 chips on it, I got the following answer.

Erwin,
You are correct. Since FireMV 2400 PCI uses two M9 chip, it's similar to
M9cards/MB.

Best Regards,

Paul

Of course I can re-ask to try to find out the exact core (RV250 or
RV280) and if it is maybe a M9+ instead of a M9.
