The 32meg Radeon card is clocked at 166MHz Core and Memory. Many of the reviews that were done on the Radeon cards featured 183MHz cards. Many folks purchasing both OEM and Retail package 32meg Radeon cards are a bit confused as to why their cards are not clocked at 183MHz. If you check the above links, you will find that the issue of the core and memory speeds are never talked about and you would leave thinking the only major difference would be the amount of DDR Ram. If you go to their FAQ page , you will also find that you are lead to believe there is no difference in the card besides the amount of DDR Ram.
Consumers expecting one thing and getting another is something that seems a bit wrong.
We have repeatedly tried to contact ATI both via email and telephone and they will neither return our mails nor return our phone messages. So instead of being able to report their side of the story on this, we can offer you nothing due to ATI's silence. The whole issue of this started based around folks taking delivery of the ATI OEM 32meg cards and getting a card clocked differently than they expected. The argument was made at that time, that OEM cards put out by ATI have also had sub-standard specifications when compared to the Retail versions of the cards. They did it with the Rage 128 Vid Card.
