The
Bundle
FIC's Comdex 2001 Video
Preview - The Radeon 8500 is the green package
The
bundle includes most of the basics you would expect; a driver CD, S-Video
Cable, 15-Pin analog monitor adapter and an 8-page ATI manual that covers
the installation and driver setup for the card. I was expecting a bit more
information touching the manual, perhaps more in depth information explaining
some features and options in the configuration panel of ATI’s drivers. While
not very complete, the tinny ATI getting started brochure should be enough
to get most people going.
