OK fine. So the cache situation is the same as with my 6100, 9600, ...

Good, the DAV is the "Digital AV slot". But I didn´t understand that "bypassing feature". There are those AV onboard connectors ( S-Video, Composite, Stero Sound IN/OUT), including the DA/AD converters somwhere onboard. Did I understand you correctly, that those DA/AD converters can be bypassed with DAV? Or are they than directly connected to such a DAV enabled card?

I still don´t understand if it is an PCI card with additional DAV connector, or a "DAV only" card if it uses the slot?

And of course I got a 128 MB Radeon 9200 for day to day usage now.
