Note that there are currently TWO posts in the top 10 disparaging ATI, both made by him.

He does this constantly. I don't even spend that much time in GH, & it bugs the hell out of me.

I swear, someone should just ban your dumb ass.

I too prefer Nvidia to ATI, but you're just an idiot.

the only reference to the probe came from ATI President David Orton, who said the events under scrutiny occurred two and a half years ago and don't affect current business operations

The stock has been under pressure since Monday when the graphics-chip maker said the OSC had concerns about the timing of a fiscal 2000 third-quarter earnings warning and insider-trading activity that took place ahead of the warning.

Revenue was up 34% over last year, to $322 million from $250 million, but that wasn't enough to offset concern over the insider-trading probe or the weak outlook
Click to expand...

The insider-trading probe came to light Monday. Some of the trades in question appear to involve ATI Chairman and Chief Executive K.Y. Ho and director James Fleck. Mr. Ho sold 254,000 ATI shares about a month before the May 2000 warning, while Mr. Fleck sold 51,400 shares.

In response to reporters' questions, Chief Financial Officer Terry Nickerson acknowledged that the probe is a distraction, but otherwise stuck to the scripted answer about the OSC probe, which is that the events under scrutiny occurred 2.5 years ago and don't involve current operations

Mr. Orton didn't say when the company's independent review of the OSC's concerns would be completed. Mr. Nickerson said any material information from the review would be made public.

but there is more here

Revenue rose 28.8 percent to $322 million from $250 million, with nearly half that growth driven by new products including the Radeon 9700 chip and integrated chipsets. Sales were well above analysts' average estimate of $264.7 million.

Positive conditions include a delayed launch by rival Nvidia (NasdaqNM:NVDA - News) for its high-end graphics chip, stronger mobile computer sales, seasonally strong PC sales, and Nintendo royalties that "went through the roof," he added.

Analysts said such investigations are always a concern, but noted that ATI's present management is substantially different from the team in 2000

In a statement, president David Orton said, "We were pleased with the strength of our PC business in our first quarter. We obtained key design wins in every product category, and our product strength helped ATI to gain share in all major channels and geographies."
Click to expand...

Share gains were no doubt helped by the fact that rival Nvidia's (NVDA:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis) launch of its NV30 chip was delayed, missing the holiday season. In any case, ATI managed to rack up an impressive list of customers for its new Radeon 9700 family of products, including Dell, H-P, Gateway, NEC, E-Machines and Fujitsu

here

so its yet to be seen what will come out of the "investigation"

ati seems to be gaining ground quite nicely.and since i admittingly know very little about insider trading practices,i won't share my opinion here;)
but rather show the positive side you missed:p

Thank you, Viper. You said it so well!

Another vote to BAN imtim83! But don't do it now; ban him during the month that the GeForceFX debuts so he can't act like a real smart-ass.

Edit: Don't forget that the FTC investigated nVidia earlier this year as well.

You guys wanting to ban Imtim83 are being pretty lame..

Why didn't anybody ban all of you when the Northwood singlehandedly overnight turned all of you from singing the P4's demise and the AthlonXP's superiority to singing love songs of Northwood performance and lack of noise? That was pretty two faced.

And as for Imtim83's thread about UT2K3, it IS and I have serious doubts about Imtim83's intentions with that thread (It's like saying why can't crunch a seti unit a minute) Imtim83 isn't a troll.

I do wish though, Imtim83, that you would... at this point in time, while the Geforce4 is still Nvidia's answer to the 9700 pro, pick a company you like, pick a company that you don't like, get realistic views of their performance and capabilities, and base all of your posts on that information.

Well, at least he was right about the IBM HDs ;)

But seriously, imtim83 *can* be annoying at times, but I think banning him is a bit extreme and I don't think we should all just gang up on people. Remember that sitting on the other side of that computer screen is a real person with real feelings and nobody likes being ganged up on.
