    Visiontek is a company in flex. They are in a bankrupt stage, At one point they were dead. They may yet make a comeback. If you were nVidia would you extend them credit? Perhaps that is why. Pure speculation but I do own several businesses and it is common for companies in trouble to badmouth suppliers that will not ship to them. I have had it done to me more than once - these companies rarely survive.

    I think it is about time for the ATI partners to get a little aggressive. You know damn well that since the Fx isn't producing what everyone has wanted, that the Nvidia PR machine is going to be in full force. Any chance they get they will badmouth any ATI based product, so, why not return the favor a little head of time.

    I am just wondering when they will be releasing their first board under ATI.
