"possible "ATI" board win?" That win happened last year. No announcement. ATI didn't want to be embarrassed I guess. Or Cube didn't want it's shareholders to benefit. ATI has to provide a consistent DVD experience across their OEM's product lines. ( atitech.com ) One that doesn't drop frames when used with their lower end Graphics chips (the ones with no DVD acceleration built in). So ATI OEM's the Quadrant (Divicore) card that works so well with the Quadrant Software that ATI licensed. I ran across an ATI flyer last year that has the specs for the ATI DVD decoder card, it mentions it uses Cube's Ziva chip. The link I posted yesterday was the first online evidence I've found that it really even shipped. One would think that as the Rage 128, with all it's DVD acceleration, makes it in to the lower end machine the stand alone DVD card will be phased out. However, ATI Rage 128 is THE graphics card used in the Power Macintosh G3 Line. If you order the G3 with DVD you get a daughter card added to the Rage 128 and on that Daughtercard is a ZiVa... Why? atitech.com Someone told me that Cube's PC-DVD shipments increased something like 400%, I've written it off as a rumor, or part of the Lucy syndrome. Now I may want to rethink that.
