Introduction
With newer and more complex computer components coming
out every day, filling in the voids of what the comsumer needs and what
the industry requires to stay afloat, a company needs to bring something
new to the table. Something that just doesn't have the basic, bare bone
requirements of the computer user of today, but something that will
convince the user that they can't believe that they didn't think of
something like that, or how they ever enjoyed computing without it.
This, my friend is what our friends at ATI
have brought to the table with there latest offering of radeon all-in-wonder
cards.
