Oh, it is on e-bay it must be true then.... I2 != Extreme... There were
several gfx options for the I2:

XL, XL24, XZ, Extreme, SolidImpact, HighImpact, MaxImpact.

Again, Extreme only support soft textures. No matter how many messages you
write, it is not going to change the fact that extreme does not do texture
in HW. You are confussing Extreme with Impact, which is basically the same
as SI (actually solidimpact is,high/maximpact do have texture support)
