ULi Electronics has long been a partner of ATI (among others), providing chipsets and other core logic technologies.
However, that many soon change, as NVIDIA has announced the acquisition of ULi Electronics for a cool $52
million.
Will NVIDIA still allow ULi to continue its partnership with its bitter rival? As the GameIndustry.biz
article points out, this move puts ATI in a bit of a predicament, as its own chipsets are relatively outdated. Looks
like ATI better find some new friends or they are going to be, like, so totally yesterday.

What difference does it make. Their chipsets have been, as a matter of habit, outdated on release day. Every single one of them.

Does that go for the one in the Xbox 360, Billy G.?
Meh, I liked the other girls in that movie. I am still of the opinion that Frankie Mu?and Lindsey Lohan are the same person.

Just FYI, I read a comment made by an ATi executive somewhere stating that, while ULi will be acquired by nVidia, they'll still supply companies that make RS480 mobos with their south bridge for ~6 months or something.

Aside from that, Nvidia seems to be applying some real pressure on ATI this time, next year could prove to be very interesting for the GPU market.
