Does it matter, it's a new version!! :-)

Not sure sorry. I have a 5429 card and it seems to work quite well.

BTW, I've heard that CL only produce chipsets, and any cards labelled as
Cirrus Logic video cards are in fact made by someone else, just using the
CL chipset. I've heard of the 5428 referred to as a chipset, but not the
5429. Any ideas?
