What a mess, ATI, really. µ

I don't like the sounds of that. The issue of yields is always pressing at launch; the need for a 'master' card will make problems worse. What if supply is extremely thin of certain master cards at launch? It will make an already messy situation even messier.

ATI's greatest opponent right now isn't Nvidia, it's themselves.
