The Savage4 video of the PM133 chipset is a highly capable but low-end solution. The stand alone Savage4 video was never known as a speed demon, and the internal video is slower, partially due to clock speed and partially due to the SMA architecture, where main memory is shared with video memory, which slows performance. On the bright side, the Savage4 video has a full list of features, including 32-bit color, texture compression, a digital out (if the motherboard manufacturer wants to use it), and 2K by 2K textures.
