Radeon LE or Regular Radeon ??? Help me.

[cheric4]

I just bought a refur Radeon video card from Newegg..........It was supposed to be a Radeon LE 32ddr /refur for $35.00...When i received it today, on the back it just says Radeon 32 DDR........I was going to flash it but i can't tell which one it is. Went to ATI web page and they have nothing on LE so i don't know how to compare..........Can someone help me please....How to tell which version the card is ?

 

[oldfart]

Does it have a fan?

 

[cheric4]

YES..........instead of a heatsink
If this is any help......p/n: 1025-E3320 00000

on my old LE there wasnt ATI printed in the graphics on the PCB.

LE's only come with a heatsink.

hope you dont have a SMP system...cuz radeons dont liek em.

I don't have SMP......It does have ATI printed on the pcb. So far from the info, it seems to be a reg Radeon 32mb ddr...Any other hints/help to look up???

that's the oem version of regular radeon ddr clocked at lower speed, not overclock well as radeon le,
appeared some time ago in hot deal forums.

just get a program and check the clock speed, the le were clocked lower i believe, the regulars were ar 186mhz i think

 

[oldfart]

Regular 32 meg card is 166 MHz.

After reading the article from Oldfart (thank you) i concluded that this card is the Radeon 32DDR regular version. Just to make sure that it would be able to use the drivers and enable hyper-z, i went ahead and flash the bios to the 32ddr one from one of the hack sites.

THANK YOU so much everyone for your experiences and wisdom.
