> Apple chose the Rage 128 [Pro] for the original iMac G3, making it the most popular Mac GPU of its era.
This is misleadingly-worded because the original iMac had a 3D RAGE ⅡC, the five-colors models had 3D RAGE Pro, and the slot-loading models had the earlier RAGE 128 VR.

Yes those are all confusingly named by ATi :p
But based on the timeline and features mentioned, they're specifically talking about this one and not any of the earlier chips in the RAGE family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Rage#Rage_128_Pro_/_Rage_F...
iMacs didn't ship with RAGE 128 Pro until the year-2000 Indigo & DV models, by which time the RAGE 128 Pro was already 11 months old: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac//faq/imac-g3-video-p...
