Well, the article didn't say they'd showcase the R420, but rather their first ATI based card.

This could very well be a 9600XT to have a card in the mid-end range, since it would leave the hig-end to a R420 based board to be announced a short time after.

They never said it would be R420 cards they'd be showing....


This MSI story seems to surface every few months - I guess it'll come true eventually.

Have I been missing something, or is this only concerning retail market?

Because MSI has built ATi cards for OEMs since at least March 2003... (Medion/Aldi in Germany)

Yes only retail, MSI has been producing Ati cards for OEMs for quite a while now.

Uh...sure - Aldi is selling these things all over europe. My mistake. What I meant is that it's a german company.
