Is this false advertising?

I was looking a a good deal on a 9600 Pro and found one listed for $150.00 shipped here. It is clearly labeled as an ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 128MB AGP (OEM). But when I click on the detailed specifications link it took me here.

I don't have a problem with the Tyan Tachyon G9600 Pro, but I was looking for a Built by ATI card, not a Powered by ATI.

Do you think this is false advertising?
 
Right on the first page:

Product Description

Additional features include an advanced cooling system on the memory and VPU on both sides of the card, DVI-I output, 400MHz core speed with a 600 MHz DDR memory speed, and Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 support. OEM version.

I don't see a problem with it, an Nvidia based card would say basically the same thing the only difference is that ATI also builds their own boards.

Viper GTS
 
Or do they? I remember reading that even the "Built by ATI" cards are made by Sapphire. Either way the Tyan's a nice card.
