Looks like the same card to me..... Chips numbers may be different,
so it's hard to tell if there is/isnot an exact match. Often chips
numers just indicate trivial differences like the amount of
internal cache, MHz speeds of busses/processes etc etc.

I did not see it in the section where video cards that are know to
not work.....


hth,
