ATI'S RAGE 128 SELECTED FOR GATEWAY'S NEW ESSENTIAL CONSUMER DESKTOP PC

- ATI's leading-edge accelerator used on an Intel motherboard in

new Gateway PC system

- First of a series of design wins for the RAGE 128 with major PC
 OEMs

 TORONTO, May 5 /CNW-PRN/ - ATI Technologies Inc. (TSE:ATY,
NASDAQ:ATYT) announced today that Gateway has selected ATI's RAGE 128,
incorporated on a motherboard manufactured by Intel, for the new
Gateway Essential 466 consumer desktop PCs.

The new Gateway Essential PCs use the leading-edge ATI RAGE 128 VR
chip, in conjunction with the latest Intel 466MHz Celeron processor, to
deliver with stunning clarity and quality the performance features and
benefits promised by the latest sophisticated graphics and multimedia
applications.

ATI's RAGE 128 graphics chips have an advanced 3D architecture that
produces industry-leading 3D graphics performance. A fully integrated
128-bit graphics and multimedia accelerator that supports up to 16MB of
graphics memory, the RAGE 128 VR is the most attractive graphics
solution for motherboard implementation currently on the market.

In reviewing the feature set of the RAGE 128, the authoritative
Microprocessor Report commented: ''With overall performance to match
the best 3D chips on the market today and unmatched support for digital
video, the RAGE 128 earns our Editor's Choice award for the best
combination of features and performance among mainstream graphics
accelerators.''

''The RAGE 128 has been praised by leading computer publications and
industry analysts for its remarkable 3D graphics and multimedia ability,
'' said Ed Grondahl, vice president of marketing, ATI Technologies Inc.
''With the new Essential PC series, the RAGE 128 will deliver all the
best that the latest in 3D entertainment, Internet and education
applications can offer the demanding end users of Gateway's newest
consumer desktop.''

 The industry leading graphics and multimedia features of the ATI RAGE 128
 ATI's RAGE 128-based chips have the power to handle with ease
advanced visual effects such as alpha blending, fog, video textures,
texture lighting, reflections, shadows, LOD biasing, texture morphing,
and vivid color rendering -- all needed to run today's increasingly
graphics-intensive business, consumer and entertainment applications
and development tools.

The RAGE 128 VR's integrated motion compensation and iDCT technology
produces the best DVD in the industry, providing full screen, full
motion high quality playback of DVD/MPEG2 video. ATI's DVD solution
delivers equal or even superior performance to competing hardware
solutions, but without the need for dedicated and expensive DVD
hardware.
