ATI and Xbox 2
According to Avault, an ATI chip will be powering the next generation Xbox. Good news for ATI!

ATI's CEO is "K. Y. Ho", is that not the coolest name, ever?

The beautiful thing about the Xbox (and its derivatives) is drivers are loaded from the game disc -- IE, the developers can ship customized versions and ship specific ones they know for sure will work.

The ugly thing about Xbox and its inspirations is that the resolution sucks air out of an airlock and then rips out the space-time for fun.

Another reason not to buy a lame console. I hate ATI, I hate consoles... a perfect marriage.
