Me Too..:-) Heat or No heat that is the sneaky question?

Remember at Tom's Hardware, Tom said the RAGE 128GL runs hot and it
got all the Bulls, panties in a knot, saying it just ain't so. Even when ATI said it is normal. Well lo and behold, that sneaky company ATI came out with a cooler running A22 version. I guess they sold all those apple pie heaters to Apple to run at a reduce rate.

--- "There is a new revision of the Rage 128GL chip which is 215R4GASA22. It does not include any functional changes however it is a completely modified substrate which improves the power supply of
the chip and the heat diversion. (...) All the shipping products have revision A22 of the Rage 128GL chip. You can do a 48 hour test with the Rage Dawning Demo in 1024x768x32bpp and you will not
see any missing triangle. At this point I disagree with you - the Rage 128GL A22 chip does NOT need any cooling. As an evidence I will send you an XPERT 128 board (Rage 128GL, 16MB SDRAM)."
