Radeon 7000s and 8500 Questions

[Inteleron]

1st on the 7000, 7200, 7500 series... what are the nivida counterpart? ...geforce2 PRo/Ultra? Geforce3 Ti200?


2ndly... i think iread somewhere The 8500 OEM has a slower clock and ram speed than a retail version is this true? and Can't be overclocked? ...also i think i read there is even performance models that are clocked higher than a retail version by 3rd parties ...is this true?

...i think the soon to be released gigabyte 8500 is running 300/300mhz ...is there any available now with a higher clock speed than 275/275mhz which is the retail version correct? and does ATI offer any other speeds / models than a 8500 OEM and 8500 Retail (other than a 8500 ALL in Wonder).

7500-Radeon DDR w/ increase clock&mem speed-GFU/Pro/Ti200?
8500-RadeonII-GF3

OEM is at a clocked lower but you can "overclock" back to normal speeds. Sometimes a voltage mod is needed to go higher

ATI originally wanted the 7500 to compete with the Ti200....but seeing how it gets crushed by them the 7500 competes with teh Geforce2 Ti/Ultra....the 8500LE/OEM competes with the Ti200...and crushes it.....the 8500 competes with the Ti500....
