I found this at HWHELL:
Now you can add in the Radeon X800 SE - I was curious since it is coming in my new Dell:
"Earlier today X-Bit Labs reported that the ATI Radeon X800 SE chip will be hitting retail shelves. This comes as a surprise as the chip was initially an OEM release only with Dell being the main company to offer graphics solutions based on the chip. According to the report the X800 SE chip should be aimed at the mainstream market with performance falling somewhere between the Radeon 9800XT and the X800 pro and using only 8 pipelines instead of the 12 used in the X800 Pro cards.
In an attempt to offer customers in performance-mainstream market segment something more advanced than the RADEON 9800-series, graphics chip designer ATI Technologies is said to offer the RADEON X800 SE product to end-users, something that the Markham, Ontario-based company did not want to do initially.
ATI RADEON X800 SE is the third graphics product in ATI RADEON X800 lineup unveiled in early May. According to Dell, who so far has been the only supplier of such graphics cards, the product has a 425MHz graphics processor, 128MB of 800MHz DDR SDRAM memory with 256-bit bus width along with typical set of connectors, such as D-Sub, DVI-I and TV-Out. It is generally believed that the RADEON X800 SE graphics chip has 8 pixel pipelines and 6 vertex processors. By contrast, ATI RADEON X800 PRO and ATI RADEON X800 XT visual processing units sport 12 and 16 pixel pipelines respectively, delivering greater performance in the majority of cases.
An ATI spokesperson said earlier this year that the RADEON X800 SE was an OEM only product, but Chinese web-site HKEPC.com now reports that the graphics company aims to introduce AGP flavour of the X800 SE part to retail market. The product is said to be positioned for performance-mainstream market segment and cost from $200 to $300"
