ATI WinCharger: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started WinCharger sales 1 November 1995 at a recommended price of $229. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Mach architecture and made with 600 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 2 MB of EDO memory clocked at 0.04 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 320.0 MB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCI interface.
