Default AIB Companies To Adopt XGI Volari GPUs?

While not directly related to Nvidia or ATI, the fact that XGI is entering
the consumer graphics industry with its range of Volari GPUs may effect both
of the current leaders. hopefully in a positive way, for the end user. God
knows we could use some more competition here.

Personally, I am most excited about the Volari V8 Duo - first *consumer*
graphics card configuration to sport twin Grahpics Processing Units.

now here's the article of the topic:

ASUS, ABIT, Gigabyte, Club3D to Adopt XGI Volari GPUs?

There are rumours going around Computex Taipei 2003 exhibition in Taiwan
that a number of graphics card makers are seriously considering
manufacturing of graphics cards powered by XGI Volari graphics processors.
The list of the companies includes the names of tier-one manufacturers, even
though there are no official comments from any firms mentioned.

As we managed to find out, ASUSTeK Computer, ABIT, Gigabyte Technology, CP
Technology and Club3D plan to support XGI in an attempt to successfully
enter the graphics cards market this year by adoption of XGI Volari V5 and
V8 GPUs.

Everybody in the graphics cards market is very interested in the third
provider of GPUs since the fierce competition between today's leaders NVIDIA
and ATI is not only exhausting for chip companies, but also has a negative
impact on their add-in-board partners. Furthermore, only two GPU companies
that have practically equal resources may result in a rise of the GPU cartel
that totally controls the graphics processors market. Even though it is
practically impossible for a new player to enter the market, AIB companies
want to give XGI a try. In case XGI manages to be competitive, everyone will
benefit from this.

Note that the information is totally unofficial and no formal decisions
concerning actual graphics cards have been announced yet
