ATI acquired NxtWave - they did not stop further development. They 
integrated the NxtWave technology with their other product offerings 
in this area.

As I understand it, the chips that ATI will be shipping this year are 
a new design with significant performance improvements. How they 
compare with the 5th Gen LG chips is unknown, at least to me.

I may be talking with the folks at ATI soon. After giving some good 
press to the 5th Gen LG chip in a recent BE column, the PR folks at 
ATI suggested that we be briefed on what they are doing.

I'm ready.

Regards
Craig
