If you remember we told you about the preferences of the Taiwanese graphics card manufacturers in the middle of March (see this news story). Almost three months have passed since then, and the situation with ATI and NVIDIA supporters has become slightly different. Have a look:

Graphics maker	Manufacturer	Major focus
NVIDIA	MSI	Mainboards
	ASUSTeK	Mainboards
	ABIT	Mainboards
	Chaintech	Mainboards
	Albatron (Chun Yun)	Consumer electronics, mainboards
	Leadtek	Graphics cards
	Prolink	Graphics cards
	AOpen	Mainboards
	Acorp	Mainboards
ATI	Gigabyte	Mainboards
	CP Technology	Graphics cards
	Jetway	Mainboards, graphics cards
	Sapphire	Graphics cards
	High Tech	Graphics cards
	Transcend	Memory modules
	DFI	Mainboards
SiS	ECS	Mainboards
	AOpen	Mainboards
	Acorp	Mainboards

As you see, the table has grown somewhat bigger now. Besides, there appeared one more chip maker: SiS, which we never took into consideration because of relatively low shipping volumes. Now that their Xabre family (SiS330) is out, the situation has become somewhat different.

No doubt that the leadership still belongs to NVIDIA. I believe that even the two largest partners of the company, namely, MSI and ASUS can outpace the entire ATI team in terms of shipments volumes.

There is one more very interesting thing to mention. None of the mentioned above manufacturers dares produce both: ATI and NVIDIA based graphics solutions, while two companies decided to use NVIDIA and SiS chips. These are AOpen and Acorp. Well, it seems NVIDIA doesn’t take SiS as a serious competitor at least now.
