Seems like INTEL knows the value of its i740 chip Check out the press release below, it probably explains todays action 800,000 shares and up to $50. ATI'S XPERTWORK GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR IS THE POWER INSIDE THE NEW TEAMSTATION(TM) VIDEOCONFERENCING SYSTEM FROM INTEL TORONTO, March 18 /CNW/ - ATI Technologies Inc. (TSE:ATY) today announced that ATI's AGP 2D/3D and video accelerator designed for commercial applications, XPERT@Work AGP, is included with Intel's new video conferencing solution, the Intel TeamStation(TM) System. Intel's TeamStation(TM) includes a Pentium II-based computer and is one of the world's most advanced video conferencing systems and complete conference room tool, and ships with ATI's XPERT@Work AGP inside. ATI's XPERT@Work AGP graphics accelerator sets the new standard for Windows NT and Windows 95 performance and productivity. It will provide TeamStation(TM) with superior 2D, 3D and video acceleration, offering uncompromising power in one integrated solution to drive the most demanding business applications. The TeamStation(TM) System by Intel combines state-of-the-art video conferencing with the flexibility and connectivity of a PC. With Intel's system, local and remote participants can have instant access to each other, the World Wide Web and their organization's Intranet. Integrating seamlessly as a turnkey solution into a corporation's existing PC network and support infrastructure, Intel's TeamStation(TM) System supplies all the capabilities and functionality of a desktop PC and monitor, empowering users to give presentations, or to work as a group on documents or spreadsheets, even when not video conferencing. The ideal power inside Intel's TeamStation(TM) System, ATI's XPERT@Work AGP graphics accelerator provides significant performance enhancements and delivers high speed application acceleration at all display modes. Based on the ATI 3D RAGE(TM) PRO TURBO chip, XPERT@Work AGP is optimized for Pentium(TM) II/Pro processors, and provides the high resolution and high color applications needed when presentation performance counts. XPERT@Work supports Intel's write/combine specification, with drivers that improve performance by transferring graphics data from the system in large efficient bursts instead of the slow, short transfers of other graphics cards. ''XPERT@Work AGP is the ideal graphics acceleration board for videoconferencing solutions such as Intel's TeamStation(TM),'' said Alan McCann, director of board marketing at ATI. ''XPERT@Work AGP's video acceleration capacity is the best in the business, and provides the full-screen scalability and ultra-high image quality commercial users need to fully exploit the productivity promises of top-line videoconferencing systems.'' ATI was a founding member of Intel's AGP (Accelerated Graphic Port) development forum, working with Intel to develop the AGP specification. ATI is now the leading shipper of AGP 2X mode graphics controllers, the only mode that delivers the full benefit of AGP. Yours in investing, Brian Diggle
