The newer cards, Xpert@Play and Xpert@Work have a faster chipset, and
are available in PCI or AGP.

The outputs are SVGA, Composite, and S-Video.  It also has the AMC
interface necessary to add an ATI-TV card (optional tuner/capture
card)

The Xpert cards can have up to 8MB of memory, and support resolutions
up to 1600x1200.

Further details on the Xpert (and other ATI) cards are available on
ATI's website, www.atitech.ca
