ATI fanboys have been very happy for some time now. Since the release of their amazing Radeon9700 and the not-so-impressive recent nVidia line-up, there’s no denying that the latest/greatest graphics card from ATI is on top of almost every enthusiasts wish list.
But looks like ATI doesn’t want to stop there and like their biggest competitor nVidia, they also want a slice of the chipset market now. Introducing their product on a Small Form Factor PC, which seems to be the hottest item nowadays, is definitely the way to go. And without doubt, Shuttle is king when it comes to SFF PCs with their XPC. Lets find out if we have a match made in heaven with Shuttle’s ST61G4 XPC powered by ATI’s RS300 chipset.
