Just spotted that Theinquirer.net has posted details of ATI's upcoming Radeon 9500 and 9700! The 9700 is a slower version of the Pro and the 9500 is aimed @ the Geforce4 TI 4200 market! Here's a snip.

The main difference between the cards will be the memory interface. The Radeon 9700 will use a 256-Bit interface and is planned to compete with Nvidia's Geforce 4 TI 4600. The card will feature 128MB of DDR memory working at 550MHz, an AGP 8X interface, Dual 400MHz Ramdac and all the things that you already saw with Radeon 9700 PRO. But you can expect that this card will be a bit slower than the fastest 9700 PRO. Of course, the card will have full support for DirectX 9.0 ATI to launch Radeon 9500 and 9700 on the 18th of October 2002
