Meltdown 2001 - ATI's R200 Countdown Begins

R200 Launch Taking Shape

The systematic way ATI has been positioning itself for the R200 launch should have the desired effect for the company - anticipation is high among analysts, and users alike. ATI deserves credit for working hard to set up its next generation hardware and its timing is impeccable, if R200 makes it out the door in September.

What ATI may have, something which they haven't had in a while, is a sexy 3D product. It's out there now, somewhere. It looks good, and it's saying all the right things. We''ll just have to wait and see what our good Doctor makes of it when he gets his hand on it.

During the product showcase reception, attendees swarm around the ATI demonstration. This was about as busy as anybody got. There was a certain buzz surrounding ATI, undoubtedly.
