    Yeah, it's just a revised X1300, you could go the other way and see the 3DMark table for this info.

    The X2300 was just a stupid marketing gimmick by ATI.

    I believe ATI's justification was that the "1xxx" series implies design for XP and they felt people would be more comfortable associating "2xxx" with Vista. It's similar to how nVidia has the GeForce 7100 series which is actually a GeForce 6200, but renamed to be more friendly to the Vista Aero Glass upgrade market. ATI also has a discrete X1050 solution that is actually a X300 but likewise renamed to be Vista friendly. It is all a marketing gimmick.
