ATI X1900 is fully made in china !!!
You sir are an Idjit!
Like I said the BOARD may be made in China, but that chip, the true heartof the X1900 is made by TSMC in
Taiwan. So the only thing that is 'full' is you, and it's not a good thing. :roll:
Do some freakin' research before you start going CooCoo for CoCo Puffs!
of course the chip is always made by the original manufucturer
But it's not made by the Original Manufacturer. Ati is located in Thornhill Ontario Canada, TSMC is contracted to make the X1800/1900 chips (some others are slated for UMC), so the question is 'what is an original MFR? This board has more countries involved than the UN peacekeeping missions in the Middle East!
...but the board is the most important thing
No it's not. The Chip is the most important thing on that board, it could be put on another board or even used as an intergrated part and would function nearly the same. The board for the X1800XT (2nd edition/PE) and X1900 are pin exact replicas of each other, yet perform very differently, thereffore Chip>Board.
...if the board is defective ..you won't call it a high quality product at all ...
And same goes for the chip, the memory, the capaictors, voltage regulators, etc. If any of them fail consistenyl you won't call it a high quality product.
the second thing is ..please try to be more quiet when speaking to people
I was pretty quiet when typing that, my keyboard on my laptop makes nowhere near the noise of this one at work.
...offencing them only makes your infromation useless ...
Unless those people's info is useless from the start at which point I dismiss them with the appropriate level of respect... ie none.
by the way you didn't even provide me with a single link to prove your (claim) ..
Because they are well known facts, like I said, do your research first, n00b!
You provide a link and still manage to F'it up royally, so how valuable is that link?
finally , after looking at the third picture of the same page ..I found that the chip is made in Korea ..not Taiwan ..

That is the
MEMORY on the board,
not the X1900 chip! Everyone knows Korea is a major memory capital of the world (especially after the Taiwanese quakes a while back), just like most people know that the X1900 is made at TSMC and TSMC is located in Taiwan. Perhaps if you researched more you'd know that too.
As for links perhaps if you even looked at the
OPENING PAGE of the article you link to you could see very prominently...
LOL @ YOU! :lol: :roll: :lol:
PS, to everyone who laughed about the 48 shader/pipeline title fiasco in this review and then wondered where it went and what proof remained, look at the properties of the picture links "ati_radeon_x1900_heats_up_with_48_pixel_pipelines/intro.jpg"
