Tagram?

Check out the G200! Is this a typo or have I missed something?

That's a mistake, the G200 USES tagram, it's not MADE by tagram. Turbo Accelerated Graphics RAM

Wasn't a Tag RAM what intel's socket 7 boards (at least the HX) used to determine the cacheable area of the main RAM?

"Tag Ram" chips used to be pretty common in CPU caches. My old 486 had a tag ram chip, and it ran at a higher speed than the SRAM chips in the L2 cache. I think it was 10 or 15ns, so it was kinda slow by today's standards. There were even different options for it. Then the PII and PPro came along with built-in caches (or at least on the CPU module, as in the case of the PII), and these things basically just disappeared.
