 |  The three reasons why AMD acquired ATI WE HAD a chance to talk to a nice chap called Mario Rivas who happens to be an Executive Vice President, Computing Products Group at AMD. We had a chance to ask him a few questions and one of my key ones was why the company acquired ATI. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36900
