The RAGE Mobility 128 is a compact, all-inclusive mobile accelerator, delivering industry-leading 2D, 3D and multimedia graphics for the mobile market.
"ATI's RAGE Mobility 128, in addition to providing the industry's fastest single-chip solution, offers a comprehensive feature set with many perceivable quality enhancements that are unavailable from any other graphics manufacturer," said Vincent Win, vice president, strategic sales, ATI Technologies Inc.

RAGE Mobility 128 can support up to large UXGA (1600 x 1200) resolution for larger and greater graphics detail.
The integrated MPEG-2/DVD decoder with iDCT and motion compensation enables full frame rate DVD playback with very low CPU utilization, thereby extending battery life.
