The 840av was better because of the A/V functions plus optional 2MB VRAM. The 950 had an NTSC ability I think, plus 24bit with 2MB VRAM (1MB built in).

Mostly the 800 was crippled by only allowing 1.0MB RAM so you don't get 24bit at higher resolutions.

I stated 1.5MB VRAM for the 800 but I guess it was only 1MB? I know it had 2 VRAM slots while the other models had 4.
