You mean that ATI cannot outperform a i945? Not the last time I played Quake it didn't...

Turns out that not everyone buys a video card to play Quake.

Loads of people like to play "Firefox," "Word," "Filemaker," and "Minesweeper."

My integrated Intel graphics chipsets play a game I like to call "xterm" far better than any ATI, since ATI has horrible support under Linux.

And all they meant by the loss of momentum was marketshare, not performance.
