I built a projection system computer for our church (on an EpoX mb, XP1800+,
512MB, 80GB hd, XP Pro SP1) with a Sapphire Radeon 9000 (not LE) 64MB DDR
with VGA, DVI, and TV Out. Works fine. My computer (KT3 Ultra2, XP2000+,
512MB, 40GB hd, XP Home SP1) has a PowerMagic Radeon 8500LE 64MB DDR; it
works fine too (did have a little initial setup problem solved by clearing
the cmos on the motherboard and rebooting). The difference between the 8500
and the 8500LE is the LE is using a slower GPU (250MHz) than the 8500. You
have to understand that there are lots of people building video cards with
the Radeon chipsets just like there are with nVidia's chipsets. There are
many different configurations.
