I have 2 very similar Rage 128 cards, both received in Blue G3 towers. One, on the chip, says "RAGE 128 GL", so I think that one is identified. It also has an identifying number of 630-2858
The other has a heatsink over that chip, which just reads "..RAGE 128", and an identifying number of 630-2896. Which variety of Rage 128 is this? Is it better than the GL?
The GL came with a daughtercard. I've seen it called a DVD decoder card, but also a memory expansion card. Which is it, or is it both? If the Rage 128 I have with the heatsink is the better card, would swapping this daughtercard to it make it the best video card I have with the parts on hand?
