Default ATI Redefines the Multimedia Personal Computer with the New ALL-IN-WONDER® X800 XT

Newest video card offers award-winning powerful video and graphics plus innovative multimedia technology

MARKHAM, Ontario/ Munich, - September 9, 2004 - Multimedia entertainment is redefined with the new ALL-IN-WONDER® X800 XT from ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX: ATY, NASDAQ: ATYT). Built upon the award-winning powerful RADEON® X800 Visual Processing Unit (VPU), this new multimedia add-in video card brings innovative solutions for home theater, video editing and gaming enthusiasts. Shipping this fall in North America, ALL-IN-WONDER X800 XT will be available with a manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) of $499 USD from major computer retailers and ATI.com. ATI's European add-in-board manufacturers, including Connect3D Inc., Hightech Information System Limited, Info-Tek Corporation, Sapphire Technology Limited, and Tul Corporation, will offer ALL-IN-WONDER X800 XT in various configurations later this year.

ALL-IN-WONDER X800 XT is the first video card to feature DVI-I and VGA monitor connectivity plus a TV and FM Radio tuner in a single slot device. This video card is also the first ALL-IN-WONDER® to feature new input and output block connectors that provide easy access to peripheral devices.

"ATI continues to set the benchmark by which all other multimedia solutions will be measured," said Godfrey Cheng, Director of Marketing, Multimedia Products, ATI Technologies. "With enhanced connectivity and functionality, combined with the incredible RADEON X800 XT graphics and video processing capabilities, ATI continues to lead the industry."
