I've corrected the acronym (it's NOT Allied Telesyn International), added some extra bio info (location, names of founders).

What's with the "NOTE: If you are planning on using or using linux (OS) Its not worth the hassel to get an ATI graphic card since there poor drivers arent real good. If you plan to use linux I would recommend an Nvidia Graphic card." at the end? I recommend we delete it, it seems just a teeny bit unprofessional. --] 13:25, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC) What's with the "NOTE: If you are planning on using or using linux (OS) Its not worth the hassel to get an ATI graphic card since there poor drivers arent real good.

I am wondering if calling the Radeon Xpress 200 ATI's first chipset is really true. I seem to recall a few motherboards out there boasting ATI chipsets (such as the 320M for the regular Athlons and the 340M for Pentium 4's and more recently the 9100 IGP for the Pentium 4's) while I guess the 3x0 series might not qualify as chipsets in the truest sense of the word (as, I seem to recall the boards using southbridges from VIA or some other manufacturer) I'm pretty sure the 9100 series had southbridges manufactured by ATI, thus making it ATIs first true chipset. For now I'll just leave the article as-is because I may very well be wrong but someone who has more time on their hands may want to look into the issue a little more. - Kilroy1231 3.3.05 I am wondering if calling the Radeon Xpress 200 ATI's first chipset is really true.

ATI used an ALI southbridge for the earliest chipsets, but that changed with the . Since I wrote 30% of the present ATI page, excuse me if I have no hesitation in correcting this nonsense. Well spotted. Okay, I just split motherboards out to their own section. Its just a stub, but its a start. When I get the time /energy, I still want to fill back the current trends section to at least the Rage chips. ] 20:36, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC) ATI used an ALI southbridge for the earliest chipsets, but that changed with the .

I just put in a vote for deletion for a new page on the 9250. Jeesh, here is the rule guys. We do a page for each NOTABLE series of cards. The same rule for both ATI and nVidia. Copying out benchmark scores and spec sheets on every part nVidia or ATI ever made, really is not what an encyclopedia is about. ] 20:26, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC) I just put in a vote for deletion for a new page on the 9250.

I think that ati should redirect here whenever you type ATI or ati. I assume that over 90% of people typing those keywords are looking for this article. I just changed the logotype by uploading ATI_Logo_0903.png If I should rather have deleted existing ATI logo.png and replaced it with the new image, say so (or just fix it). As it is, there are two ATi logo images on Misplaced Pages, one of which no longer matches the official one (and it had that ugly placement of (r) anyway). Paranoid 20:25, May 16 2004 (UTC)

Why does this page ignore ATI's past mistakes/failures/questionable actions yet it lists Nvidia's?

This article should be about ATI, why is every other sentence I see nVidia? Not just see nVidia - but I see over-blown publicity. This article seems a bit biased, is it really necessary to mention nVidia's name so much?

ATI also made a sound card called the Stereo F/X in 1992.
