radeon hd 2400 issues?

[Joe Kazura]

Hmmm ... something seems a bit whacked (duh) ...

While the 'newer' ATI cards (i.e. the HD series) don't quite seem to  
live up to our expectations, they shouldn't be slower than a Rage  
128 !!!  ;-)

At home I have this card (ATI Technologies Inc RV610) in a Dell GX280  
4 GB RAM and F10 ... and I've played some of the RPM Fusion OpenGL 3D  
games (Torcs) with no complaints.

At work I have a Radeon HD 3450 in a similar config Dell (F9 vs F10).  
And it's definitely whacked! Esp. since F9 & the fglrx drivers see the  
card as a MOBILITY version ... in Torcs I can't break 25 FPS.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility  
Radeon HD 3450
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon  
HD 34xx Series]

  LOL!
