The Inquirer believes that ATI will have a hard time trying to catch up with Nvidia on SLI. ATI has one advantage. It will be able to offer its SLI marchitecture for Intel lovers and I guess that Dell will make one of its XPS machines with ATI SLI, unless it chooses to go for an AMD/Nforce 4 answer, of course. Ok, so that advantage was just erased. |

HP is selling an ATI Radeon X300 SE PCI Express graphics card. They call it an HP ATI Radeon card in fact, and the cost tagged on it is $149. You can of course check out details on the X300 on the ATI site. It appears that in fact PCI Express cards are starting to trickle out. I know we have seen sight of them here in the lab. Now the questions are will games like Doom 3 push PCI Express adoption whether or not it is needed, and when will we see PCI Express from Nvidia and VIA for Athlon 64? Stay tuned. |
